I have to admit it wasn't the first time it's been used as a biddy enema. That's why it's in the run, always accessible.

Is it....scrumptious?

Now I don't have any problems with my ducks. They get their little heineys moving when I start to clap, and usually they're in bed, simmered down, by the time I get to them. It's the rare occasion that I have to chase them. The turkeys on the other hand...

Last year's bourbon reds took about 6 months before they went to bed in the coop. It might have been longer. This years... forgeddaboutit. I'm taking them off the duck house, the duck run, the chicken run, the composter, the grill (!!), the rafters in the goat house...

SCG that is why I let them figure out where they want to sleep. I am super happy that they figured out "treat time" pretty quick and go in to the run for the most part without a fuss. Of course you get the occasional poult or two running back and forth outside the fence trying to find the gate they always go through.

"Never had dirt before" "Riddles, me love riddles" Ok just could not resist.



My Drake Pekin and I are having problems.

For some reason I look like a threat or another dominant Drake.....Gosh!

I have no idea why. They're not adorable or anything:



OK, they're adorable. And scrumptious. And make fabulous lawn ornaments:

The scrumptious part really attracts me. Plus I want to hear the GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE all the time. I also want Guineas for tick control.

You won't be able to hear the gobble over the guineas.

My neighbor brought her little boy over here last night. He was standing at the front door while we were talking. The turkeys are usually on the porch, staring into the house. They want in. BAD. Anyway, the kid thinks this is hilarious and makes a kid happy screech noise, which causes my 4 boy turkeys to gobble in unison. Which causes the kid to giggle, which causes the turkeys to gobble...

After I recovered from my own laughter I tried to get a video, but they stopped doing it. I guess it was the pressure of potentially being on YouTube.

 

[chickensnewtome]

Oh my goodness!! I would have loved to see that video!

Yes yelling at them to hush up only encourages the behavior.
