Good for you! I have now put a sign out to sell eggs as my light brahmas are finally getting in the act

Oh how I wish I had eggs to sell! I don't even have enough to eat!!!

Am sure that the Bobcat climbed over your chain Link fence., i knew a manx that used to do it, have seen racoons, rats, am sure weasels and opposums, cougars can too. With out a doubt there have been more wildlife migrating to the west side….am thinking because of all the loss of food source because of the huge fires this last summer. Sorry for Your loss….. I did lose 2 hens to bald eagles last year…..


Regarding the amourous turkey…..I have a pair of midget whites.,,,,after 2 years of hatching eggs the hen decided she wanted to be a boy, grew a black tag / extra cornecles (spelling) and did everthing the tom did including trying to beat him up. they both have been unruly towards the other chickens but are behind a fence now. She even quit thinking like a female and became helpless and unthinking like the tom.

wow ! a "he-she' turkey !
Einstein calls it a queer turkey...
ever seen her mount other fe's ?
Amazing she grew a BEARD (I suppose that was the "tag" you said, a black long group of feathers coming from the turkey's breast ?

That is the best description of the feeling I have heard yet!

And no, eggs in the hen house are never such a thrill is a big salmon on your line...never !

Well, I have never fished for salmon. I actually haven't gone fishing since I moved to Washington state. I usually caught trout back in Colorado. But I bet getting one of those big old salmon on the line would be a big thrill.

Washington is a fantastic state to live in.

It was very odd for me….i asked Larry Urban and he said that its not that odd and happens. Yes she morphed and looked and acted identical to the tom. For awhile it was hard to tell apart……
