They have probably been on FB and are gun shy now.

"Our" wild turkeys are so interested in the chickens when they free range. A couple of the females have gone right up to them to hang out, but the chickens are a bit cliquey and won't accept their friend request.

I have wild turkey hens that come into the yard and hang with my turkeys in the spring..
The hussies take advantage of my innocent young boys and leave..

Aww! So cute! I actually debated on adding turkeys this year, but I haven't done enough research on the to confidently do that this year. I'm worried they'd run off if I let them free range with the rest of the flock.

That's what I was thinking. Those guys are pretty big, though.

run off!!!

You can’t make a turkey run off.. they will be in your front yard, or back yard wherever you are..

when your not outside they will wait by your door for you to come outside..

think big friendly lazy black lab

Thanks! That was last fall when we moved over here. I've only seen 1-2 turkeys as of this week. They all seemed to disappear a bit from November until now. I always make the joke that they went underground for a bit to avoid being someone's Thanksgiving dinner.
