Granny's gone and done it again

[CapricornFarm]

So only 5 turkeys went in the coop tonight, they get in a mood and start roosting and don't come off the roof of the run. I left her there, but resolved to see if i could catch her and put her in the coop before i headed to bed.
After i finished in the work shop, i went and cleaned out the storage bin brooder . I can't stand it when it gets poopy like that. There are maybe 7 guineas and 4 chicks in there i think. More on that topic later.
The turkey roosted in the only place i could catch her, the part of run #2 that doesn't have any wire on top yet. I set down the flashlight and grabbed her by the legs. Of course she starts beating her wings. I try to get my arms around her and i ended up getting scratched by one toenail.

He got a 22 rifle. No he dont keep it loaded. He follows all the safety rules.

I am going to take some shooting at a range somewhere.

I really need a bigger brooder or else another quail duplex pretty soon, so i built the 2 rectangles for the frame and cut 4 legs, painted it all. Hopefully i can finish it tomorrow between chores.

It is fun , but harder than it looks at first.

I can imagine it’s very hard. Plus I have no depth perception. Think I will just go for the shotgun approach..

I had a hard time with my .38 special, you have to cock it and squeeze the trigger and my hand would wiggle and i couldn't hit anything. So i bought a 9 mm. It is super and i can actually hit things with it! My rifle is awesome, hit that target right on. Hubby sighted it in for me.
