'Smithsonian’s original scientists and their informal association—the Megatherium Club."...
"To confirm their behavior, and provide insight into the personal qualities of the members, we have a letter from the files of Hiram Kennicott (a relative of Robert Kennicott) that contains an amusing “eggnog” story. Apparently, being the smart, yet rowdy, group that they were, the Megatherium members decided to keep hens at the Castle with the hopes of cutting costs on food and alcohol. Innovating, the members made eggnog with the surplus of eggs—after all, they shouldn’t go to waste! Due to the behavior that would surface from drinking, and reports given to the Bairds about the mischief going on in the Castle after hours, the members decided to give up the hens. In fact, it was voted upon by the men that Miss Lucy Baird should be selected to take them."

Where are your turkeys going? Hope you don't have a long drive. Do the turkeys get upset if you move them or do they roll with the punches?Killerbunny wrote: ↑Mon Dec 23, 2024 1:59 pmNo Snow!!!!

Re: Good Morning 2024
Most of these have been to shows before so they just "chat" the entire journey - all back safe now. A great male went to Whitby to 10 adoring ladies. There I collected a Jake and a Tom. Drove back to Napanee area to drop off one Jake and 3 of my young hens. They are then going to Sudbury tomorrow. The remaining Tom is being collected this week for breeding duties by a nearish breeder. All safe now and settled. Left at 6am to find 401 closed between Odessa and Napanee. Made it home by 3:30pm.lolotsung wrote: ↑Tue Dec 24, 2024 9:56 amWhere are your turkeys going? Hope you don't have a long drive.
