    A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

    This guy was so fat well fed, that I don't think he was on the inner property for food. Think he was needing drinking water from the tubs that are left out by the house. Normally all wild life stay away because of the dogs. Wild life over the years test the outer boundaries or just crossing...

    Livestock dogs to guard chickens and turkeys?

    Not all lgds or dogs in general alert on aerial predators. Will say learning comes from a chain reaction. Birds fly over, shadow across the ground, the birds set off an alarm and the dogs spring into action and connect all the details of the event to memory. The easiest one is the flapping of...

    Free Ranging

    my favorite thing to do is add earth worms (helps break up our clay soil) I've dug up around our barns and where I have placed hay bales and thrown earth worms in there. I also like to get tons of crickets and release them in the barn and yard area. It pays back naturally over time.
