Dang Judy is tough! And Ralph, treats on the deck...tsk, tsk!

So it was getting toward "Turkey Tuck-In" time and here is Daisy waiting for me on the porch rail. Annie was sitting on one of the steps. They are pretty good about bedtime. They gather on the porch & follow me to the pen. Well, ok...they do get a bedtime treat.

I was trying to get a shot of her punk mohawk in all its glory. But it didn't show up very well.

I find my shovel works well for my relocation efforts. And they never return.

Its 13 here this morning. We are still dealing with the remains of our 1 inch blizzard. You should hear the whining down here!

Feedman, I agree, its going to be 70 here in a few days. 13 is not normal here, and neither is 70 in January. Weird winter!

R2elk...Chinooked...??

Akernaf....tell us about your flock.

That's a great idea Ralph! Party at Coffee's!!

So I was at the kitchen sink. It was close to turkey tuck in time and both girls were roosting on my back porch rail. So fluffed up they looked like a couple of linebackers. Was just heading to the door to walk them to the coop when they both stood up, fanned their tails & started barking loudly. Some weird looking guy was walking down my driveway. As soon as he saw them he wheeled around & ran back out to the street. By the time I got out the door to look down the drive, turkeys in tow, the guy jumped into a truck & took off. Not sure what he was doing, or who he was, but the girls scared the crap out of him. Wonder if he even realized what they were. He didn't see them until they started screaming and he literally jumped back & ran. Honestly I think they are scarier looking than my barking aussies.

Feedman, I never forget the sight of Daisy flying over the gate with that big piece of pizza hanging out of her beak!! After that, anytime we eat on the deck, the shameless thief gets locked in her pen.

MNnice...you read my mind...cheers!

No idea who this guy was. A bit unsettling. He had a stocking cap thingy on. Annie DOES NOT LIKE HATS. She went off like a big crazy red bird. Neither one of my birds have ever been aggressive. However, if its a situation they don't feel comfortable with they will start screaming.
