COLD DARK ROOM

[Momof4]

Ok! Didn’t mean to keep everyone In Suspense but the little buggers kept me going all night and I had to jump strait up and run this morning. Outcome...... 3 adorable little turkeys the one that pipped on the wrong end of the egg didn’t make it out. And the last one that never pipped must have passed a week or so ago.

How cute!!! What are your plans with them?

 

[Cathie G]

What was the Title? and/or your username? I’ll look for it.

The Title is Meet Arrow. I changed it to unlisted because private wasn't letting me do anything. "

" Thanks.

Two of them have a home with the FFA administrator.. ( later on) and one has a home with a sanctuary but it may stay with me instead. They must be taught to eat and drink and cannot be released into the wild. (Yes, I’m still learning I am not a big fan of birds, but one of them doesn’t like the other two and thinks I am mother. He was the first to hatch and he cries for me:-(.. I may have to keep him ..my iron clad heart is melting... one day at a time though.. I must first teach them the basics of living [emoji51]

What a nice surprise on our front porch this afternoon. A newly emerged Cecropia Moth - North America’s largest moth.

I think by posting private people have to send a friend request. It's so complicated. I couldn't even send it to myself on another email address I have. To have my phone I have to have a Google account. That I never use. The one that I always use is my account that I use to chat with all of you. I did manage to send the link to myself. But I don't know how to copy and paste to the CDR. Maybe I have to add TFO to my my friends list? on my email that I use????

Sounds like a lot of work!
So will he roam your property or will he get an enclosure as an adult? Are they kinda like chickens and you round them up in the evening?

I don’t know turkey’s at all.

Are you on your phone?

If you already uploaded it to YouTube, you go to “My channel” find the video and look for the 3 tiny dots... , click them and you’ll see “share” then click and click the link which will copy and then come back to CDR and “paste”

EllieMay probably has an imprinted turkey. That's a pet for life. You can't eat them because they love you too much.

Ok. I'll try.

When I upload a video to youtube, I set the privacy as UNLISTED which means it isn’t searchable on YouTube, but it is viewable by anyone who has the link.

Don’t use PRIVATE - nobody else will be able to see it


To show the video in the forum you need to know the last part of the URL for the video. In the app, I choose SHARE and then COPY which copies the URL



If I paste what I copied you see


The last part, jSjOSEp9S6U in this case, is the unique identity for the video

To show it nicely in a post you need to type your video identity in the media tags like this:



And, in theory, you get the video showing like this:

They are extremely dumb on a lot of things. Nothing like chickens. Males tend to get aggressive. If I kept one, it would have free roam in the day and come into roost at night.. the sanctuary is a high fence ranch with exotic deer. He would have safe free roam all the time plus get fed... that would be the best decision I’m sure.. if it will act like a turkey, that will suit me just fine

Thanks for all your help. So far I can't quite do it. My unique identity is be/3HYtAQmOx7l and it is user name Cathie Green. I want to actually post it just for GP though and I did get it that it has to be unlisted. Hope I can remember how to by the time I learn how to.

I completely understand that! When I raised chickens, I gave away lots of roosters. I was attacked by one as a child and lots of other male species since then so I am a bit prejudiced against them ..

Don't blame you. And emus are the dumbest bird I've ever encountered. One of the baby chickens that I raised ended up being a lap rooster though. Hopefully, that gives you hope for the new baby.

I raised a turkey chick years ago to full grown. When he got big ( and I DO mean BIG!!!) we couldn't allow little kids around him. He was so big and ungainly that it was easy for a bigger human to get away from him, but not little ones.
