You combined with poultry are making for even more entertaining posts. Now watch, the darn dogs will do something shooting the poultry escapades to hell.
This reminds me of one of my co-workers...the first year in our careers (we hired in at the same time) she was called to a farm by a complaint of an aggressive wild turkey. She and the farmer were in the field talking and she had her back to the turkey who processed to climb up her back using his spurs and pecking and beating at her with his wings. She turned around, grabbed the turkey by the neck and wrung it for him right then and there in front of the jaw dropped farmer. She garnered a huge amount of respect and awe in the farming community with that move.....

ReplyDeleteWhat was it that you expected?
Sharon....I should have listened to you
DeleteTime to install the turkey cam
ReplyDeleteNever turn your back on a turkey, brother...
ReplyDeletePlease don't think of taking revenge on such a poor defenceless creature - albeit one who knows how to attack for no justifiable reason whatsoever..
ReplyDeleteHe's in the oven as I write this
DeleteI hope he's not in the oven for taking out your hair and that you planned on cooking him beforehand.
DeleteIf I thought you were serious, J.G., I'd come right over there and tug on your OTHER clump of hair! (Oooooooh!)
DeleteBreeding season in the farmyard can be difficult.
ReplyDeleteOh yes..all those teenage hormones
DeleteTis the season...
ReplyDeleteare you fattening him for christmas
ReplyDeleteNo sol.....he's a pet........ There is something always comforting about having a turkey around
DeleteFor some reason I am reminded of Grace Jones and Russell Harty.
ReplyDeleteCow. !!

Sneak turkey attack. All the kind things you do for your critters and they always manage to pay you back.
ReplyDeleteAnd he probably chuckled afterwards, like I am now!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there was a creepy crawly that he was protecting you from !
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
Perhaps he was annoyed with your green on green ensemble.
ReplyDeleteA double oooooch willow
DeleteBrilliant shot John - I always said that animals and birds do not appreciate what we do for them - seems that this is proof.
ReplyDeleteHe does look like he has the evil eye on pat does he not?
DeleteWell,you do look like Bernard Matthews from behind.
ReplyDeleteJane x
And from the front too!
Deleteyour animals are turning against you! teddy bites my husband all the time!
ReplyDeleteWell at least it must have taken your mind off the sciatica for a minute or two.
ReplyDeleteis this a feathered friend/enemy conspiracy...OR...should we know better than to sit by the fence of any of your menagerie?!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf it's not tiny cockerels taking a kick at you, it's the turkey trying to make you bald, John!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to call in PJ Taste on West Street and try a "Sheffield Egg" - you'll love it. Remind him that a Turkey is for Christmas. xxxx
ReplyDeleteI have already written it down!
DeleteSheesh! Beware the ducks.....they may be seeking revenge next!

DeleteThe animals have been reading "Animal Farm" and are starting to revolt.
ReplyDeleteHope your sciatic gets better quick.
All turkeys are equal but some turkeys are more equal than others
DeleteI'm curious. Who took the picture?
ReplyDeleteI did liz..I was listening to the radio on my iPad.
ReplyDeleteI think Bingley was just upset that you weren't listening to him.
ReplyDeleteSeems he was just trying to get your attention.
ReplyDeleteCuriosity had me changing the language to Welsh. Sis you know there was no translation for "cow"?
janet, revisinglife
You're having a rough time lately ... perhaps you should take up a safer hobby, like skydiving :)

ReplyDeleteYou must just be tasty.
