Wow that's a nasty bruise. And way up under his wing. Wonder what happened.
My girls are still edgy. Not fighting...but definitely throwing shade. Occasionally giving each other the evil eye.
And it's getting cold here. We are having frost warnings. FROST WARNINGS! What the heck is going on?

Well Ralph, if the chickens are too small/young to show then you'll have to show turkeys!! Maybe you could go best in show with a turkey at Hutch!!
Put your upcoming hatch into lapper training as soon as they pop out of their shells! Honestly my turkeys are easier to groom than my chickens. Just think how impressed the judges will be with a well groomed lapper!

Crazy weather yet again! In the 80's, storms and cold front blowing in tonight. We are going into the 30's for a few nights next week.

Aurora....such cute girls! So did Pebbles accept the chicks? Will that get her off the nest? My girls mothered those two baby SS. And did a great job of it. The SS still follow my turkey hens around and run to them if they get scared or upset over something. They are sleeping with the chicken, but as soon as I let the turkeys out they come running.

Pine shaving. Not on dirt. Use my pooper scooper to pick up under their roosts. Pick up after my dogs...it came naturally for me to scoop turkey poop too. Little obsessive tho..

SavKel...my turkeys are city girls. Quite the social gadflies.
