    My first turkeys were people aggressive. They had imprinted on people before I bought them. Bright colors, florescent colors, reflective strips and mirror sunglasses would set them off.

    I don't like how commercial meat is raised. Organic in USA doesn't have a lot of room for them to live. I trade turkey eggs and turkey hens with others that raise grassfed beef and dirt pork.

    Sooo what do you all eat, if you eat meat, if you're not eating cockerels? I want my food to have a good life. That's why I let the broodies hatch. I have to admit I don't eat extra hens, I sell them. And I have a bunch of retired old hens and roosters that my life would be easier if I would...

    Sorry for everyone's losses. It's an epidemic. I found a 4 year old hen dead under the roost. She was the youngest in that coop. Very active and no sign of illness.

    I picked up some plastic ones that were set out for the garbage a couple years ago. I put food bowls underneath to help keep dry.

    And spell check doesn't like yellowjackets as one word. I disagree with how far they are in USA. I am the blue dot. Wicki says the red area. They have been here since the 1980s. We also have native ones that are bigger and not quite as aggressive.

    I have small wild bees that use abandoned rodent burrows . I first thought they were German yellow jackets because there were so many going in and out. But they are mostly black, smaller and not aggressive. I just don't mow near them. I have carpenter bees drilling holes in my big hoop coop...
