LOL! I should have known! Any turkeys laying yet? Keep thinking Daisy might be close.

You know Ralph, I might consider an eligible bachelor. My girls would be all a trill. Can't you ship birds? I still think you need to send Snitch down here!

Nice score on the bator Feedman! Do you still have those quail?

Feisty! They are darling! My mom had cockatiels for awhile. Rather noisy. She also had some kind of small parrot when we were kids. It never left her shoulder. She would go outside to garden & that bird would just stay on her shoulder. She would forget it was on her & head to the grocery store. She'd just perch him on the steering wheel & go do her shopping. Not sure what type he was. BUT IT HATED US KIDS! Really hated us!

Just saw this spot on morning news about this years hottest toys for kids. One was a "Hatchable". This big egg that eventually hatches open if the kid keeps it warm. Some kind of bird looking thing pops out. With all the talk about bators & hatching around here...I just had to giggle!

R2elk...that's a bunch of snow! Was feeling sorry for myself, its going into the 20's here later this week. Then I had a conference call with the contractor on our Grand Forks ND project. Now I'm just embarrassed at being such a whimp....

Ya gotta wonder about these parents paying that much for a toy!

Feedman, was going to head to Ste. Genevieve this weekend until I saw the weather forecast. Brrr! Stay warm up there!

Ralph...been thinking about your turkey tuck-in technic. When I go out to see the girls they get all excited & run around twirling & flapping. After a bit of being silly they calm down & hang out with me and start their bedtime preening. They follow me to the coop & get a small treat. Why don't you go out about an hour prior to bedtime & hang out with them a bit. Just sit in a chair & socialize a bit. Turn Snitch into a lapper to keep you cozy!

I know its cold Ralph...hence the hen warmer!

Maybe Feisty is right. Or maybe they just get a kick out of messing with you!
