A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

I have a couple I will keep... I have a whole pen of skinny eating birds....
You can take some home with you to compare to your own skinny birds.

If I bring more than I left with, I may get to sleep on the couch for a long while.

If you leave any here, I will be on the couch....We have a conundrum...

I'll take home everything I bring.

So off of the turkey coop we plan on building a run, kind of a safer area to let them eat grass and bugs and once they're bigger they might get to free range some. They're still small enough I feel like they're easy picking.

Local store has 6ft high 2x4 welded wire on sale and I plan on doing a flight wire over the top. Husband is going to put in some wood fence posts.

Hopefully a 30x28ish area is ok enough as a grow-up pen of sorts. Once they're bigger and trained to return to the coop they'll get more freedom.

Okkkkkk. I am so far behind, it's not even funny.

I am supposed to tell everyone that @JRNash says hi to everyone! He's making plans to build a house, but doesn't think he can start it until December. He has been super busy working and has not even gotten back to his house. He needs to go because son and wife have informed him that up to 40 birds are there - NOT all his. They have been feeding them.

Three of my tweens are out of the pasture again, hanging out with their younger siblings. Brats

Today they were snooping on a chicken hen laying an egg. I'm surprised they didn't get bitten! Haha!

Oh and I have a "yard rabbit" (named Yard Rabbit) that follows me around during most days and at all times of the day. I don't know if he likes me - or he's fascinated with the turkeys?
