Jopheso...YES!! My hens were even worse! They were flying into each other. It completely stressed me out. But they settled it in a couple days & all is back to normal. Thankfully everyone here told me to get over it & let them settle things!

Rjohns, are you sure your tom isn't doing his job? He may be shy when your around!

I have yet to see Homs turkey porn collection! We better watch it or Kathy will post some of that Pea porn. Which is hysterical! Especially the series of the Pea with a camera case. That still gets me laughing!

Stay safe JR. Sounds nasty.

Feisty...constant rain is such a bummer. On one hand I love it for my gardens but hate dealing with muddy, wet dogs. My turkeys & chickens don't mind at all. And I also just love all the different noises my turkeys make. They are so expressive.

Feedman, I'm in Ste. Genevieve and we got a nice soak too. "They" kept warning of bad storms. Thankfully "they" were wrong.

I've noticed one of the Rp toms do a little strut dance then he squats real low and starts hopping BACKWARDS.. The first time he done this I thought he was ON a hen. Is this behavior nornal

Yes. Just turkey masturbation.

LOL! I almost choked on my coffee....

I think Feisty's Big Bird lost a toe nail. And broke her beak. Hey, where has "Fishy" been? Wonder if she snuck back to New Zealand.....

I was hoping Sprinkles was a hen too....but glad your keeping him. I'm curious about what color he'll be!!

Still up in Missouri. Heading south tomorrow. Lots of rain. Feedman probably got drenched too. I planted to Eastern Redbuds....so the rain was welcome!

Feedman...it rained most of the time I was in Ste. Genevieve too. Sorry about the work overload....hang in there!

So I was in Missouri for 4 days. I swear my birds miss me. They are so clingy when I get back. Annie thought she was going broody. My chicken sitter thought she was laying an egg this morning. Well she was still sitting on it when I got home this afternoon. Kicked her out & stole her egg. Just hoping she decides she has better things to do than go broody.

Let dogs out early this morning & Annie is sitting on her nest. Really bird?

Oh yippee! Annie appears to have given up being broody....for now....

She & Daisy were sitting on the back porch when I got home. Got the hose out , neither can resist playing in the hose. Chickens would rather not, the turkeys get all chirpy & silly. Funny birds!
