Here is Nosy Turkey: "what are you doing with that camera, chickenannie? I'd like to peck it cuz it might taste good" (Their wings are clipped so they don't fly out over the fence).
Big Turks inside, little turks get to roam free and hang out on fence, watching... (can you say 'happy turkeys'?)
Big turkey patrol of garden
Help! My turkey babies are too big and they won't all fit under my wings anymore (note little baby turkey butts sticking out everywhere... she was trying REALLY hard to stretch out her wings to accommodate them all!)
At this age, the pen was their night pen only. During the day, they roamed free with momma. I trained them to walk back to this pen and fly in through the little door at night (although momma would wait for me to pick her up and put her inside). Food helps a lot too cuz they learned they could have a nice snack and drink if they went inside the pen after a long day of roaming the pastures with momma hen.
Turks showing off...
My little turkey paddock (wasn't fox proof at the time and I lost a few). Would you believe those turkeys kept the grass short?
