I ...Daisy, keeping them safe is our number one job. I think poultry have been the hardest. The ones we've lost have all been to predators: skunks, 'possums, hawks, and rats. It's never easy.<br /><br />MTVA, thank you and welcome! I very much appreciate the comment!<br /><br />Ed, that's the best way to approach it. Having a stressed out little critter didn't help things. We heard again this morning from the guy with the Jersey Buffs, but it's already been resolved. So Dan is going to thank him and tell him the little guy was too stressed out to wait. We want to keep that door open for the future because the Buffs seem like a really nice breed.<br /><br />RT, me too! As soon as he found his new buddies he was happy. They, of course, didn't know where they were and were peeping to go home! They're all settling down now, though, so all is well.<br /><br />Lady Locust, I know some people prefer phone calls, but neither Dan nor I are phone people, so email is always preferred. Until it doesn't work out!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-91539367094505690672022-06-26T13:03:30.157-04:002022-06-26T13:03:30.157-04:00Oh yay that they are all now friends.

I sold something via Marketplace a couple weeks ago and despite my ad saying price was not negotiable, they attempted to negotiate. I said no and went to bed. During the night they changed their mind and left a dozen emails about wanting to pick it up yet that night (sent at 10:30), wondering why I wasn’t responding and then a few with just question marks. When I deal via emails, I count on a day at least for a response and don’t assume they will read it in the minutes after being sent.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-23309711607880184442022-06-26T10:19:04.724-04:002022-06-26T10:19:04.724-04:00I was drawn to your blog to find out what happened...I was drawn to your blog to find out what happened with tiny turkey - hope he is happier now with his new friends.

One of the most common cell phone problems we had, was that it would send people directly to voicemail without ringing. We'd have the phone on us to wait on a call, and suddenly see there's a missed call. Huh? It never rang! <br /><br />Sounds like your pup is doing well. :)<br /><br />Kate, if it hadn't been for having guinea keets, I probably wouldn't know about it either! It'd definitely discouraging to loose animals, but hopefully the varmint is now gone.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-59226626039384209902022-06-25T23:04:46.107-04:002022-06-25T23:04:46.107-04:00Those new Black turkey poults look very interestin...Those new Black turkey poults look very interesting. Glad Tiny has some company other than the mirror pal, although that is a neat trick that I hadn't heard of.

I never got that text...weird because we both use the same cell phone carrier.<br />She was coming home as I was leaving. It was a bummer because my dog was very upset that her friend wasn't at the dog park.<br />I'm glad you found some buddies for your tiny turkey.

But it depends on what we've got!<br /><br />Alex, yeah, my experience with cell phones, both calling and texting, has been only negative. I guess for some people, it's convenient to have a mini-computer at their fingertips. But for us, it was more nuisance than it was worth. I don't have time to be frustrated.<br /><br />That's very true about comparing the breeds. We did that with our chickens and settled on a few favorites.

Now you can compare the two breeds. Aren't computer communications a PITA though? My husband's sum total of text (via my cell) and email communications is generally "Call me at this land line. It is not a cell. Please leave an actual message." It seems like we are at the point of the communication age where we are backsliding.SmartAlexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219182373225762230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-88883430573779408122022-06-25T06:14:26.513-04:002022-06-25T06:14:26.513-04:00Good morning, you two are good turkey parents-hugs...Good morning, you two are good turkey parents-hugs I have an author friend that lives outside of Yellowstone park and she raised allot of turkeys from eggs this year and sold quite a few this spring <br /> good luck to the little turkeys hugs from the Lake Kathykathyinozarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644138355524729156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-33366045423736367462022-06-25T00:38:25.879-04:002022-06-25T00:38:25.879-04:00Yay! A Happy Ending!
Electronic communications...Yay! A Happy Ending! <br /><br />Electronic communications are not as instant and trouble free as we often assume they are, both from a practical operational (getting the message through) as well as people checking their messages (I am one of the worst on this. Although very responsive on my blog, I pretty laid back about other forms of electronic communication).Toirdhealbheach Beucailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872794169534403463noreply@blogger.com
