I am very tempted, but I don't think my ladder will reach up to the branches in the tree they are in...and I am frustrated because that tree is lower than the rest, but all the lower branches were cut because of the garage roof. If my ladder was just a bit taller....
I do like the rope idea...string them and throw them over my shoulder as I make my way down the tree...

I will see if I can come up with a safe way to capture those turkeys

Those are pine trees. Do NOT climb them in the winter....their limbs can be very brittle in the cold. Losing 2 birds to this cold would be terrible. Suffering a traumatic brain injury to save 2 birds you can replace for less than $10 (for chicks at least) would be tragic. And if you were able to remember before the injury you would kick yourself for climbing trees to rescue something that FLEW UP, therefore can fly down.

The TSC in Cortland has their chicks. They have black sexlink, production red, black australorp, reds(not sure what they are that is all it said) and they have baby ducks they said that they were a mixed batch but most were Rouen.

I walked in the door and I could hear them. I would love to bring them all home they are so cute. I got back in the car and told DH that they were in there. He said "You are NOT getting any!" I reassured him that I was done for now...unless I find a cuckoo silkie hen then it is on!

They must have just got them today. I stopped yesterday and all they had were this little brown ducklings. Store manager Jen is great there. The reds can be any RIR NH red sexlink or any other red.

That is what I am hoping for and I have food out and about at the bottom of the trees if they decide they don't want to coop it just yet. One of them threw in the towel this morning and simply walked all the way across the snow, into the run and plopped right down in front of the coop door

Very funny to watch

If you can get some straw or hay, it might help to spread a thick layer out around the tree. This might give them better sight of where to land. Kinda like the Skiers in the Olympics.

I wasn't away that Guineas would fly up into trees like this. It's one of the reasons I didn't get Muscovy ducks.
