My turkeys free-range in my garden-PICs

[chickenannie]

The turkeys seem to love it in there, although they made a dust bath between the potato plants where I hilled up the soil. I have "green" paths between my garden beds which is where they hang out, eating grass. At night they fly over the fence and roost on a wooden fence. Here they are:

Very Beautiful Turkeys,, Thx for sharing the PIC..

I have 10 BReds left out of 15 ordered and they're about 15 days old now.. already able to fly ..lol

Can hardly wait to see them turning to their colors..

Just curious if you have preditors around your area, and if you put the turkeys up at night or let them roost in trees...

lovemybirds -- I have practically no predators, so I let the turkeys sleep wherever they want -- usually on the fence or in the trees. The only problem is that they do sometimes wander too far and have gone to the neighboring property (a couple of times). Yesterday I clipped all their wings so they can't fly anymore to prevent this. they'll have to roost in the garden now.
