  • Becky’s back from her trip and she’s checking in on our birds and seed starts… but she finds a weird thing in our coop. Our one and only Royal Palm male is dead, you won’t believe THIS.

    If she's laying at all her eggs are probably fertilized! Keep some eggs and hatch them out

      +Candice Christensen - she’s about 6 months old and hasn’t laid yet, as far as we can tell. The male hadn’t mated with her yet unless we missed it. I think she’ll start laying any time now though.

    Hi Becky, It's so sad about your turnkey and how beautiful a turkey! OMG, I have never seen one that pretty. I wrote that breed down because I will get one for sure. You are also such a great gardener. Started plants and all. Even though we do not have our homestead yet, I am planting things in my apartment. Jake did a good job about the bunk beds. I hope you find someone that will take care of the female turkey who is pretty as well. Stress is even a factor in our health. I know that for sure. Take care and hugs to you and your family, the boys are absolutely adorable!! Big smile - Anna Banana

    Good job fixing up the boy's room. Maybe down the road a piece they'll want them bunk beds back, it would free up a bit more play room on the floor.
    Too bad about the turkey. What an odd way to go, who would have thought! My co-hort/mentor used to raise the fowl and always said turkeys were so stupid they'd drown in a rain storm... Maybe you can find an adult male to buy, or breed her to, so you can hatch babies.

    • @whitehouseonthehill
      @whitehouseonthehill  6 років тому +11

      +ubetchya78 - yeah, we cycle the bunk beds through every 4-6 months, it seems. They go back and forth on wanting their own space and then wanting to be near each other. The turkeys aren't the smartest, but you're right, replacing the Tom is the route we're looking to go.

    My grandmother used to keep turkeys to sell and from what my mum told me, turkeys are kinda delicate birds that have been known to pass away from stressing themselves out. Our chickens on the other hand were really tough and hardy birds. We weren't so lucky with sexing them and unfortunately ended up with three roosters...one of them became the dominant male and the other two just happily went along with it. They lived with us for quite a few years until they were either killed by stray cats or accidentally died.

    Great job with the beds. And rearranging the room. Sorry about your turkey. How about finding a tom turkey that is about the same age? We are all learning.

    So sorry for your loss. My husband and I had a turkey like him and a mate like your female. Well, a stray dog got to our Tom and injured him so bad that my husband had to put him down. Anyway, it absolutely broke my heart to see his "widow" going back to where she seen him last on a daily basis. Maybe it was a coincidence or maybe it was a search for a lost love. One will never know....

    Where I live in Michigan - we have wild turkeys everywhere. Scare the daylights out of you when flies out of the bush and into the path of your car. They're huge! Sorry about your beautiful TOM who passed. What a shame. Condolences.

    You might not need to replant the things that haven't come up yet. I planted seeds a few months ago in our cold frames and just a couple of weeks ago they started to come up (now that it's a little warmer). I tend to plant in big plastic cups (like red solo cups) so they have more room before I need to transplant. I'm so sorry about your Tom, he was a beautiful bird.

      +When In Idaho - we’ll give the seeds a few more weeks and see if anything pops up. Otherwise, no biggie if we have to swap them out. We have a lot of seeds, and not much growing yet.

    A bird cam with view screens from the house would be helpful you could see if there is trouble before its too late and you have a tragedy on your hands, also would be fun to see live stream bird cam. Maybe some nice sponsor could provide some, hint, hint, : ) Love your videos thinking of having a farm but the learning curve is quite steep, would need a beginner farmers monitor kit. : D

    Jake, I was telling you to take one of three keyrings off the flashlights. LOL But, you figured it out. 😎
    And, of course, the boys start using the bed when you are about to take it down.
    Sad to hear what happened to the turkey. 😣

    This was in April of this year, and you guys were scheduled for a big freeze?!! Wow, didn't think ya guys were that northern, so while Becky planted those veggies indoors, seems like they want to be transplanted out, well at least in a bigger pot. As for the moment you focus on the baby crib, lol...getting ready to congratulate you both, thinkin' li'l Uriah and Eli will soon have a sibling, but no, just taking it down and putting the upper bunk as a normal individual bed, Becky sure was happy to see the work ya did, and so was grandma, who's mom Becky's or yours? As for the Royal Palm Tom, yeah he sure was a real beauty, well, things can just happen at random, good thing is most things have a positive side to them and few a negative as in the case of this Tom dying.

    Domesticated turkeys are generally about as smart as a brick. My mother swears a bunch of grandma's turkeys drowned in a big thunderstorm looking up to see what was pelting them. True or not, they simply don't have the brains of their wild ancestors. The were bred for meat, not smarts.
