I'm so curious about the Buttercups. Would love to see pics. So they aren't flighty? And they are sweet? I think they are darling!

Nothing better than poultry pics!

Feisty...I think the Buttercups are such a pretty bird! One of the breeds I've been interested in for awhile. That hen is adorable!

I have visions of Ethel free ranging with a cluster of guineas following behind her. Daisy was laying in the pool again with wings spread & head on the rim. Everytime they see me they hop up & head toward the gate. I just can't seem to get a picture of them in the pool.

I've been sharing my watermelon with the girls. They appreciate a nice cold piece in this nasty hot weather. And boy, it's nasty hot here right now. Daisy may be a pool hog, but Anne LOVES her fan! She gets as close as she can.

Well we have a heat index over 100. The humidity it out of control. Scary combination. All the hens are hanging out in front of various box fans. In this heat i worry about my older girls. Some of my SS are getting up there in years. But they are smart. They stay in the shade by the fan.

Daisy & Annie are parked right in front of their fan. If Annie gets any closer she's gonna loose her beak! That red head is the biggest fan hog!

By the way....Ralph, how is your tree hugger doing?

Feisty, I hate to hear that about Turkulus. You need to get some pics of the Bourbon Boys. And speaking of pics....Aurora, mottleds??

Ralph...has Ethel hatched her keets yet?

Could be as much as 100 here today. Ugg.

Hey folks! All the babies are looking stellar!!

I really needed the pic! Some gal plowed into me on the way to work yesterday. Broken right arm in 3 places. Surgery required this week, apparently. Got my first ambulance ride. All rather blows.

Aurora...you have the best grin ever!!

Sure wish they would allow a therapy turkey! Its exhausting dragging this huge cast around and trying to do things with one hand. Such is life!

My turkey girls don't know what it is!

Heat index expected to be around 110 today. Making wearing this cast pure joy.

Loving all the baby pics!

Ralph...how is your tree hugger doing? Would love an update!

Turkeyparent....I've seen the duck & goose folks using diapers. Ask on their threads about where they get 'em.
