Re: OT wildlife

I remember the movie & the book. Thanks Zem, I thought it sounded familiar. Wasn't that the original appearance of Ma & Pa Kettle? They were so popular that several movies were made featuring Ma & Pa. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Zemuly Sanders" <zemuly@comcast.net>

If you can find a copy of "The Egg and I" you would get a real kick out of it. My mother read it when I was a little girl and she was raising chickens not long after WWII. It was eventually made into a Ma & Pa Kettle movie. It's a true story of a woman who decided to raise chickens, and while it is most probably dated it would still be hilarious.

Oh man...I have to HIDE the catalog from my husband or we would be over the top with chickens, turkeys, guineas....and whatever ELSE they sell. Pam let me borrow her book called "Still Life with Chickens" - you simply must read it. It's not a long book, but it's about a woman who buys her daughter six chickens, and what they go through trying to figure out how to raise the chicks and keep them safe. Very amusing and makes you think...

Don't you enjoy that catalog? The past 2 years it's come here & I build a wish list of birds i'd like. It's not gonna happen. No fence & too many cats 
& dogs running in the neighborhood. Not to mention other predatora. Last
year I tried to talkk my grandkids into getting some for 4H projects, but
their mom said no.

I LOVE TURKEYS!! I'm going to order some eggs from Murry McMurray hatchery 
this fall and put them under my brooder chicken to hatch.

Just looked out the front window to see a stately procession of
two adult and five juvenile turkeys progressing slowly through
the driveway and around the house. Now they are moving
slowly down the back hillside to the vegetable garden. I'd guess
it is two "clutches" as two of the young seem smaller than the
other three, and both adults are females.
Of course deer are constant visitors, even coming up the front
steps and going through the breezeway. The otters were back
in the pond this week. Muskrats and groundhogs, to say nothing
of raccoons, also live here, and we see an occasional turtle, but
I think turkeys are the weirdest-looking beasts that we see. Even
weirder than the occasional great blue heron.
