Here ya go...Little bit of spring....

R2elk....sounds miserable. It's 77 here. Too warm with storms approaching.

Rjohns...I was in the yard with the girls & my hound was on the other side of the fence bouncing up & down. Being a goofy pup. BIG goofy pup. She walked up to the fence & every feather she owns went up. I swear she's dog aggressive!
Aurora....nothing better than hanging with big ole sweet turkeys! Daisy got her lap time this evening. She hops in my lap, I scratch her head, she goes to sleep. You can feel her whole body relax. She's a big baby!

Rjohns....you guys getting some of this rain? We are supposed to get over 6 inches starting tonight. Blah! Looked like Feedman is getting a load too.

Both my little Sussex are laying. Had two little pullet eggs in the nest box. Still NO turkeys eggs. Weird! My girls are slacking!!

Oh wow...drama in the coop! My girls will get into it briefly before they start laying for the season. They did last year & I can feel the tension this year although I haven't seen them fight. It's quite a show. I had to go in the house & drink a beer. My first inclination was to separate them. But I remembered everyone saying to let them settle it. Daisy was extremely upset. When they stopped, Daisy practically flew across the yard & landed in my lap. All that drama ended with some bruises & small bite marks. Luckily they quit after a couple days of sporadic squabbles. The funny thing is how the chickens went & hid in their coop.

I'm quite happy with the convent concept here.

Looks normal to me too. Hate to hear about all the Tom troubles. Tis the season I guess.
