I thoroughly enjoyed watching them. I'm happy to be visited by turkeys... except when I'm trying to start some new grass, but that was well taken care of with fencing around it. I'm not the least bit worried (well, ok... maybe just a tiny bit, but not enough that it's gonna alter my life style) about AI and the wild bird population. I can't keep my flock in a bubble, and if AI starts killing off the wild bird populations, we'll have much more to worry about than that, IMO. Turkeys carry a less virulent strain of Mareks dz. So, I conside them to be a health benefit for my flock.

My flock is working up a homogenized lasagna garden in my green house. I put in the layers, and they churn them up. I have dry leaves, grass clippings, wood chips, and leaves. Will add some chicken litter as well. It's about 10" deep now. and when I close the building in for the winter, I'll top off the growing beds with a couple of inches of top soil. BTW, they work for scratch!!!

we have a few here I love them and don't no why there aren't more . I have about 20 acres in hay fields and let then rest go or have for along time . few people realize if it weren't for wild turkeys the locust would take over and strip the fields clean. when the settlers moved onto the great plains . they brought in armies of turkeys to battle the massive swarms of locust. it worked . but after my wife and daughter we're flogged by a wild hen when they got to close to her nest .they hate them and I'm not allowed to have any. out numbered two to one!

Woah wait a sec. I DID NOT put those rant emojis there.

just want to clarify that, so no one thinks I'm "Doctors are bad stay away" person.
I don't think they're bad, it's just when they're forcing you to take this this this and this, people should be given a choice. And I know lots of people are healed by doctors, and lots of people on here are nurses and doctors and I'm not pointing a finger at you and saying you're all that above. I'm sure you genuinely care about your profession and I'm not trying to trash talk y'all in the least.

Friday, I apologize if I sounded like I was doing the above to you, I did not mean that AT ALL.

Four years of study is how I have my info about what we were all talking about.
Ross, I very much prefer the holistic approach as well. :highfive another reason for me to like you better

Thank you, now I know I am not crazy...I did not remember you putting the rant emojis....lol I thought I missed something.

In every public service employment you have good and bad. You have those that are truly trying to better the world that their goal is helping people and they will sacfice themselves to do so. You also have the greedy money hungry side that are there for the bucks. Unfortunetly I don't think the scales balance very well. I have been my father's caretaker for 9 years now. I have seen it numerous times. (Of course one of the biggest jokes in our area is the incompetance of the "band aid" station in which we call a hospital. Joys of a rural small town.) I have watched so many friends and family have pills and "treatments" thrown at them with no certainty of what the "cause" is so that there is no certain justification for the "treatment". Have experienced it myself. While I am totally grateful for many Drs and nurses and validate the extremely hard job that is, I stick by opinion that the medical field today is far more interested in dealing with the symptoms to make them go away than to find the causes.
