So Snitch is a hen!! As it gets cooler down here I really appreciate my lappers. I tuck my hands under their wings and stay cozy! Ralphie, you really need to start working with Snitch. Judy could sit on the deck with her as a hand cozy! She may change her attitude about the birds on the deck if she had her own lapper!

Yep...better than mittens! Don't loose your opportunity to turn Snitch into a lapper Ralphie!

(Somewhere R2elk is rolling his eyes)

Glad to see that Juliet has turned lapper!

Wow...that's really cool Feisty! Yep...Daisy is my main hand warmer! She'd be an asset at one of those cold football games. Nice lap & hand warmer! I keep trying to promote other uses for turkeys besides table fare. Therapy bird, football game warmers, and i thought everyone going to the Olympics this year should have packed a lapper for mosquito control.

Caught Daisy on my garage roof this morning barking at people as they walked by.

Where is everybody??

I had a meeting this morning with a general contractor on one of our projects. Got back to the office and a coworker asked how it went. Told him the guy was a "bellybutton". Eeeks!

Was wondering if you changed you mind about Adam.

Tis the season....everyone is teasing me about my girls.

Hey Feisty. Yeah, walking through ditches doesn't sound like a great Saturday. Geez!

My girls are through their molt & I can tell Daisy is thinking about laying. Annie, not so much...

You got that right Ralphie! If i have another bird on my lap, Daisy circles my chair and if she can, she will tug on their tail feathers.

Cute story Aurora! Good 'ole Romeo! I do love how much your kids are into the turkeys.

Funny...my chickens don't seem to be jealous of each other. When I pick one up the others seem to issue a sigh of relief it wasn't them. But my turkey hens are a different story!
