My family didn't understand my turkey either. They kept calling him dinner.thought I was crazy for doting on him. I still show my videos every chance I get.

Sorry, I've been MIA, been enjoying our mid 70's during the day and low to mid 40's at night...and mike's :)

Brandy Chick, Very nice looking turkey even if it is a He. Aurora, Adam is a very handsome boy. He will make pretty babies with Eve!

Aurora I am very impressed with how Adam is settling in. Good job! Ralph, so sorry your PITA is your DW favorite. It was the same with me and my DH over Charlie. Now he's gone and I miss him. Charlie's gone, not my DH.:)

Any one mind if I interrupt this lively thread to ask a chicken question? My old RIR I'd very droopy last three days especially. Has been down for a while. Her comb is not pretty. Also haven't seen her eat or drink. I picked her up to put her away and she spit up yellowish goo. Not sure if...

Aurora, I think it's awesome that you are taming Adam.He's going to be your best friend!

:gig: Ralph, your wife sounds like a smart lady! Penguin is milking the attention. I love it! Feisty, if I was close I'd take your turkey! You aren't close to the central coast of California are you?

Ralph and Retired Ron, thanks for the tips about heat. I'll wait until it gets colder before I really worry. If we get into the 20s is too cold for California so I'll look into something then. Ron, I read about Cayenne pepper and crushed peppers being good to help with black head. It may be...

Does anyone provide a heater for their poultry? We got into the low 40's last night and the girls didn't seem too happy this morning.

well, R2elk,here's the thing, I gave my tom away because he was mean to my chickens, and I want eggs. So, I'm trading him for hens.

Happy Halloween Everyone! We've been busy the last few days. DH and I are deliberating about the number of turkey hens I'm going to get. He says none, I say 3. But I'll settle for two.which is the best to start with?

Like Ding Dong Ditch! Bad turkey :)

R2elk! Awesome! Thanks! I'll see how that works. Much appreciated! Aurora and Memphis, those are my favorite pictures...of other people's pets :) Memphis, the lady I am trading turkeys with raises burbon reds, some kind of rock hen chickens (idk) and duck and geese, all organic fed, for eggs...

I'm going to get bourbon reds. Are they heritage or for eating? I want long lived lap turkeys.

Thanks Memphis. Chacha and the rest will be much happier. I'm going to try turkey hens...again.

Well, I dropped Charlie off at the turkey lady's farm. She said she would look into his breed and consider keeping him because he is tame for the kids to raise etc. But she could have been just easing my pain at turning my pet into someones dinner. I think I'll have ham for thanksgiving. We...

Hey folks! Just a drive by posting... Ralph! Glad to see you are back! Hope you had a good trip. Memphis, can you bottle some of that rain and ship it here?

Thanks for letting us know Ralph is OK. It's been a busy weekend. Have been looking for a new home for Charlie. I've had one offer from a lady that will buy him and process him for dinner. I'm not sure I can do that. A new home yes, but I'm not so ****** off that I want him dead. So far no...

When I try to pet him he dodges away. I don't let him think he is in charge. I shoo him out of the way when he gets like that. I do work from home, but I do actually work; I'm not outside so I will have to train him like I did with my son and my dogs. Treats and my "Mom's Cranky Voice". The kid...
