Information please
Martha, the gamehen, patiently sets her third clutch of eggs, this season! Another 48 hours and her trial should be at an end. She's lost half her body weight and needs a break. What a great mother chicken!

We did well at ours as well sold some br hens and guineas and got a great deal on some bourbon turkeys. 20.00 a piece for beautiful 1 year olds.

$20. Per 1 yr Bourbon Red Turkey? I would say you did great! That must have been the deal of the day where you were.
I hope all had great Saturday at their Local TSC flock swap.

I haven't been on for awhile. Lost a third of my flock this summer. Didn't get the turkey eggs I won in Easter hatch a long. And haven't been getting many eggs lately - I'm assuming because they've all been sick. BUT there is always an upside. And right now it's that I have the first ever chick bred from my own chickens- and she has been literally playing mama to a couple of much younger chicks. They sleep under her wings (halfway because they can't fully fit), she calls them when there is food, and they follow her around whenever they're outside. But my internet is being obnoxious so I'll have to post pictures later. Oh, and my BCM is broody for the first time- due to hatch eggs this week sometime. Hope everyone is well.

I like your attitude. You said in all of that, there is always an upside.

Hello,
I went to look up what to do about trolls, their offenses ? Making inflamatory remarks with hidden or not hidden insults. Those that talk and make loads of posts. Thousands of posts in 1-3 years. Those that always have something to say as they do nothing but sit on a computer manipulating converstaions so they get to copy from books trying to act like they know it all. A troll jumps into a conversation with hidden insults.
So what to do about these people with their thousands of posts made in 1-3 years that manipulate converstaions? I found it!
Someone posted this gem at this site. Adoptedbychickens! Thank you adopted by chickens. You said what I have wanted to say for a long time.
So this was copied from adoptedbychickens post.
Hi all! I found this great information for "Internet Trolls" with some laughs thrown in and thought I'd share it with you. We've got great rules and staff that enforce them, so we've not seen many trolls here, but when they show up here's what we will do...
The Care and Feeding of Your Troll: A Primer
So, you brought home a new Internet Troll. Congratulations! If you are a first timer having a troll, you may have questions. Here are a few suggestions so that you and your troll can live in karmic balance. Now remember, each troll is different and your results may vary. However, this primer should help you get on your way. Welcome to the world of having a troll!
How do I refer to my troll now that I have him/her?
First, your troll may show up already named. Yet, you will find the pre-fab names to be rather unoriginal such as Annonymous [sic], ihateyou or yousuck. Never fear, you can always change their name. If this is your first troll, I find that it is best to give him/her a soothing, happy name to remind you that they are really just helpless, sad creatures. A good name can make all the difference! I recommend something like FluffyLoveBunny or Silly Billy Chickie Boo. How scary is that? Not so much.
So your troll has a name! Congratulations! You are on your way!
How do I discipline my new troll?
Now as trolls are known to do, yours may act up from time to time. He or she may get down right nasty and vicious towards you. Remember: That is in their nature. They are inbred to act that way. It is just NOT their fault. (And rumor has it most of them were dropped on their head often as tiny, baby trolls.) Of course, your first instinct as you get used to your new troll is to lash out and want to punish them for being so incorrigible. That would be your first mistake! It only encourages their behavior. The best way to keep your little FluffyBunnyLove in harmony with you and your home is to ignore him or her. Unlike their human counterparts, neglect keeps trolls temperamentally neutral. Allowing them to see your anger or pain at their behavior merely encourages them to keep it up and makes them raging mean. Neglect. Ignore. Restore (the balance). Those are the keys to disciplining your new troll.
Now that I have a new troll, what do I feed him?
Like any wild animal, it is important to understand the indigenous nature of their diet. Your new troll may try to convince you that the best thing you can feed him is a diet of your anger, frustration and pain. Dont listen. As any child can tell you, they will try to get away with anything they possibly can. It would be a mistake to listen to them. Your anger, frustration and pain is their main source of nutrition and growth and-- unlike human beings who need good nutrition and growth to survive-- it is vital that trolls maintain a steady diet of ambivalence and ignorant bliss to maintain their puny stature. As much as you want to punish him or her, remember that little FluffyLoveBunny needs to be ignored after he or she comes home with you. A steady diet of neglect will keep you living in harmony with your new troll!
Where do I keep my new troll?
That is a great (and normal) question! As with any troll, he or she will want to be front and center in your life. He or she will want your never-ending attention at all times. It is their nature. However, to live successfully with your new troll, you must remember to keep him or her locked in a corner or sitting so far in the back of the room that you forget her or she is there. Remember: Neglect makes this work! Dont feel guilt. It is how this relationship was meant to be.
What if my troll runs away from me and never returns? Does this mean I failed as a troll owner?
Absolutely not! In fact, just the opposite. If your troll gives up in frustration and leaves you for another, that simply means you have done a good job in the care and feeding of your troll. Pat yourself on the back. You deserve it!
However, remember this: The troll population is diverse and re-spawns quickly. Dont get too comfortable. Before you know it, another troll may follow you home. But, with this handy primer, you will be ready for the care and feeding of your troll!
Good luck with your new troll! May your journey be swift and painless!
