Geez! Thought my turkeys escaped into the hood! Couldn't find them. FINALLY I found them in my garage. I have a laundry basket with clean dog grooming towels sitting on top of a few crates. They were both in the basket. All snuggly. Wish I had my camera.

I'm just happy my towels are still clean. I cooped my chickens & when I came back Daisy was out of the basket. Annie was still standing in the basket. We had a nice snuggle before I dumped her back in her coop. They really are sweet. Nothing like a hen hug!!

Another 22..wow!

So your turkey eggs respond when you talk to them?? Do chickens do that too??

Ralph...do you expect the rest of them to hatch today? Or is this an "early bird"?

Aurora/Chaos...just talked to my uncle in Hanover PA. He's getting 2-3 feet of snow. You guys getting any of this?

Was amusing myself this morning watching blizzard coverage. Yipes!! We are such wimps here! Less that 2 inches shut this town down.

Aurora/Chaos....give us a weather report! My uncle in south central PA is getting 2-3 feet.

Heading down to work for awhile. Good luck with all the babies. I'll check in later....hoping for pictures!

Ralph....my office is just down the street from Bass Pro. In an old cotton warehouse.

Poor babies! Aurora, you need to make them a warm breakfast! Any advancement on the turkeys hatching! Loved seeing Adam & his ladies!

Ralph is the first little guy still screaming?

Holm, I just love Mr. T! You guys are going to have such cool babies. When is he head8ng to Ralphs? By the way, it's a sizzling 34 here now. Still considered way too cold for us!!

Dang I wish those turkey babies would hurry up! Ralph's little screamer creamers are popping out like popcorn!

Fuzzy little guys...not much cuter! That's good news about your eggs!

I really can't wait for Mr. T babies...that's going to be fun trying to sort out the different colors!

Feisty. ..so...get rid of two boys () and replace them with RP & blue hens!! That would be fun!! How is Big Bird doing? Is she sitting on your lap yet??

Aurora's turkeys are killing me with suspense!!
