Turkeys are pretty harmless in the garden, except when it comes to shiny red tomatoes

For some reason they love to either clip off the tops of onions or to simply pull them out. They don't eat them but will simply drop them where they pull them out. I had a wild hen go in and pull almost every onion in the row.

Mine will eat any melons or pumpkins they can find. Of course nearly ripe grapes disappear rapidly.

Mine will occasionally nip at something, but they seem to be so busy causing other mayhem in the sheds or near the house to bother the garden much...

They do love pulling flowers out of the flower boxes on the deck.. and dropping them to the ground

I was blaming wild turkeys for my onions, until I caught a robin pulling onions.

My theory on the weather app was incorrect this morning. -19 is all it was. I did put in the big red lamp and when I walked in my coop the thermometer said 10 degrees. Still winter hardy without the misery factor.

Warmish water, dry scratch, topped off the feeder. Will be a coop day. No run.

Last night when I was hanging the lamp I found Loretta Lynn my little Barnie next to Sentry. Under his wing. I think I’ve seen her do that before. But they were both sleeping. Big wing drooped all around her. He loves it.

We were at -20 this morning, what's a degree or two at these temps, wind was not an issue I don't think.
How lucky are you to have Sentry!!
