Not weird that you talk to them at all, not sure about the fact they talk back.
Have you discussed with them how they feel about the fact they talk to people and they answer? :laugh:

I will keep that as a topic for our next coffee chat. I am fairly sure it's some devious training method they use on humans. Did they chat to you?

Turkeys not only chat back, but if you really listen closely, they'll often initiate the conversation. :rofl:

Ok even I have to admit that Handsome Dude is probably a better name for his image and self worth.
And KB my chickens give me financial advice so I wouldn't worry.

Did they chat to me? They gathered in the corner looking at me suspiciously chatting amongst themselves, something along the lines of ...who the heck is she?? and where is our real mommy??
and I said LOOK, I am going to have my coffee right here, just like you mommy does ....
....and Handsome Dude said....

never felt so rejected in my whole poultry life ;)
