It seems as if blooded behinds are fairly common? This is my first year raising turkey. I lost one because he jumped out of the pen and froze during the night. All of a sudden they started pecking at 2 of the other birds pulling out their tail feathers. One died from the shock, the other I rescued, Now in my lounge under a heat lamp all by it;s self. Will I be able to put it back do you think? or shall I just go and buy another turkey from the store and keep the 2 together?

redsox, I had to laugh, I just did the same thing trying to find out if I'm 6 a or b and all the maps were so small I couldn't read any of them. Really someone has to make one of these for people who don't have 20/20 vision. When I put my zip in the second link it said I was 5b and I know that's not right. I'm smack dab in the middle of that zone 6 chip on the southeastern side of MI. Besides I grow a lot of things that would not survive in zone 5 winters. I like Zack's idea. I do know that the back wall of my house is always way warmer than any other place in the yard.

Same thing every day...go over to my Mom's and do for her. I live perhaps 20 minutes or so away. She will not move in with me yet. I'll spend most of the day over there. Then go to the grocery store, maybe have enough time to hit the library for some books. I'll pop over to see my little old lady friend and make sure she is okay. She is the mother of a childhood friend that I help out also. It will be a busy day for sure! Deb

Thank you for sharing! I didn't know of this person, but wow what an amazing source of horticultural knowledge! And I absolutely love this last part of his obit: "In lieu of flowers, please share Frank’s generosity forward by giving a plant or flowers to a friend or neighbor to encourage hope and to share his cheerfulness through this pandemic letting everyone know they matter.
