Hillaire.....ignore these guys!! If your getting married, put the incubator on your gift registry!
While your at it, you can always add gift certificates to Porters Heritage Turkeys!!


I was going to attempt to explain the "small eye" syndrome to Kathy but keep butchering it. Ralph/R2elk....can one of you explain it?

R2elk, your not keeping any mottled? They just are so interesting to look at!

I like the shot of papa Sweetgrass....it has a wonderful abstract quality!

Well, I've had the "good fortune " to arrive in Arizona on their first 100 degree day of the year.
And its been over a 100 each day since. Don't believe the shict about the lack of humidity making it a nicer 100....100 degrees feels like 100 degrees....feels like I'm in an oven....heading home tomorrow. This lack of humidity is making my sinuses bleed. Why do people live here?

And my turkeys are being bad girls to their caretaker/sitter. Annie has been walking up to her and just standing there screaming at her. The sitter thinks Annie is cussing at her. I'm convinced she just needs some attention & told her to give her a few pets & hugs. Not happening. She's not a turkey cuddler.

Then Daisy apparently jumped the gate & was following the sitter down the sidewalk to her house. She was stalking her, staying about 10 feet behind her. The sitter didn't notice until she turned down her drive and Daisy flew by her head. The problem with scaring an FBI agent is they can be armed....Daisy is lucky.

Bottom line...my birds are bored. Bored birds are bad birds!!

Aurora...I miss my girls. I know they are bored. I'm outside all the time & they just hang out with me.

I'm so not used to this landscape.

Maybe Kathy has some tips....she can get those peas to stand on a scale! Something about R2elk saying how they calm down quickly when they are up side down, just cracked me up! I just got off a plane, its late...but that was funny.

Happy to be home!!

So glad to be home. Girls are sticking tight. Took for a long early walk. Lots of happy chirps!
