Wow....20 eggs! Your girls have been busy! Mine are just lounging around on their tail feathers. Sunbathing, dust bathing, no thoughts of laying an egg.

Did you guys see the post where someone is looking for a batch of "wild" looking turkeys for a movie shoot? I posted Daisy's head shot & offered to send her resume in case they are looking for a lead turkey actress. No response. Guess she's just not the "wild" type they are looking for. Oh well....
But how fun would it be if some of our birds could be in a movie? Wonder if it's an actual movie about turkeys....or if they are just bit players.

And would the turkeys get an actual credit line? I can just see our birds names up in lights. What if they got nominated for an award? I can see the red carpet now! And when asked " who" they are wearing...." lace and tulle by Aurora 26." Boys could be in black tie.

Just being silly....but enjoying the visual of a flock walking the red carpet.

No eggs yet. Girls still being slackers.

Ugghhh....skunked! One of my show dogs got skunked. Every time I groomed her I could still faintly smell it for 9 months. Blah!

I can just see us & our turkeys flying to Hollywood. To be honest, Daisy would probably just sleep on my lap. The crowd goes wild when they walk the red carpet! The girls are all wearing their designer gowns by Aurora. Adding a little lip gloss to their waddles. Maybe some toenail polish. No jewelry. They may riot over shinny jewelry. Ok...make me quit this!

Normally there wasn't an odor. Just very slight odor when wet. Went on for months. Aussies are a double coated breed. Maybe that's why I could faintly smell it for so long. Blah!!
Getting cold this week....down in the 20's at night. May have a little snow on Friday. Yeeks!! Turkey girls are all fluffed out. They look so fat! But they sure like the cooler weather. They bounce around the yard & just love laying out in the sun. Took a walk this evening. They really enjoyed grazing! I've noticed that Daisy always eats breakfast. Each morning she fills up at her feed station. Annie...never see her eat any feed in the morning. Funny how they both have their little routines.

I had to buy eggs today. It feels so odd eating some unknown chickens eggs.

Since we have turkeys in the Hatchalong...I'll follow. In fact...I may start reading the posts to the girls...maybe guilt them into laying. Little slackers.

There ya go Alicia!! Love it! So you & Aurora are in.....anybody else??

Aurora....did you get some of your birds separated into breeding pens? I'm still curious about the penciling.

R2elk....you getting any eggs yet? Rjohns, Ralphie....any of your girls laying yet? Daisy seems to be getting redder...that or she stole my lip gloss again.
