We realized he'd been trying to do this to the Chihuahua for a couple of months, but Peppie always gets up and leaves when Ataturk starts feeling him with his big ol' feet. Poor turkey: commercialized so that he can't fool around with his own hen.

My rottweiler Betti has loved this stuffed pumpkin for two years now, coveting it, carrying it around after it's been dunked in mud puddles, etc. But my turkey, Ataturk, has all of a sudden decided that it's a sex toy.

She's a funny runner!

My chickens listening to Nepalese folk music.

Ataturk is, no deny it, a BIG boy now! Today he showed off more than ever, fluffing up and gobbling to the sound of Bjork.

Depeche Mode, rooster, and a toilet with graffiti on it. I've noticed a lot of folks take their default photos of themselves in their bathrooms, sometimes with the toilet in the background, so this is a video dedicated to those who do that.

Ataturk and Turkle, my Tom and Hen turkeys enjoying a pleasant day.

This video has footage of Batman preening beneath the plum tree. Chicken Little investigates plums, pushing them toward Ataturk. A quiet afternoon.

This is my dominant hen. She mimics crows in the morning. She sometimes picks on the pullets.

These are some of the Wyandotte pullets from M. who has a chicken farm in Deer Park.

Roosters find food and they offer it to hens by clucking and holding it up in their beak, then setting it down in front of the other chickens. Usually my rooster ends up feeding the turkeys, but it's interesting to see him try so hard to get everyone's attention.

This is the Faverolle and Wyandotte pullet--the two youngest chickens I purchased from M. in August.

Chicken Little is a kind and dutiful roo who shows the cochin hens where the next meal is.

Here's Turkle. She likes Slavic Soul Party.

Because they jive to Slavic Soul Party, that's why!

Broad-breasted white turkey male (Ataturk) and female (Turkle) graze in the yard with Chicken Little (black-breasted old English bantam rooster), Batman (Cornish game), and two Cochin bantams.

The turkeys and chickens love me!
