The girls had some company this morning *pics attached*

[Little Red Chicken]

When I went out to collect the eggs this morning I saw that some wild turkeys were hanging out around our coop/run having a chat with our four hens. I ran back inside to get my camera and the turkeys stayed for a good 20 minutes. The hens were quite talkative but didn't seem nervous at all.

That's wonderful! I finally spotted 2 wild turkeys in the woods last year, they are pretty birds. Haven't seen any around the runs yet, but they may well be hanging around.

Your coop and run are quite nice, too.

Love the pics! And I love your coop and run also! It looks lovely where you live...

Beautiful birds! I really like your coop and run.

My only experience with turkeys (other than at Thanksgiving, that is) was a month or so ago:
My back yard neighbor asked me, "Have you lost a turkey?"

No, I don't keep turkeys...

and just then, a wild turkey gobbled from above us. We both looked up - it was in a tree on his lot. Wow, 20 feet up there!

"Not my turkey.. " I said. We stood there watching it for a while, then shook our heads and moved on. The next morning, I saw a wild turkey cross the road to get into the Moose Lodge parking lot bushes. We still don't know where it came from, nor did we ever see it again.

Now that is company that would be welcome at my house.

Wouldn't you just love to know what they were talking about?

I'm pretty sure they were planning a break out. They seemed to be scoping out the run pretty well.
