I love my roo's over the years they are really something individually special. My Black Roo decided he wanted to leave the big barn and stay in the Horse barn. He likes to sleep there. During the day I often find him hanging out with my LGD. With the...
Watching the security camera's (to keep an eye on my newer pup now that there are babies on the ground and it's her first exposure to babies) I could also see the momma hen and the momma turkey with their babies. They take those babies long long distances covering huge areas. I first worried...
