Turkey Coop Build

[CapricornFarm]

Some of them made it up to the high perch in the coop, some roosted on the pen inside, some on the knee walls. Looks like they are settling in.

so what happens when the tree s diameter grows??

Usually trees will slowly swallow stuff up like fencing nailed to them. St

Maybe only my turkeys are goofs. Glad they are adjusting quickly.

Oh shoot, in reading the majority of this thread and needing to build a coop for my turkey, I'm coming to find I know less about him than I thought. It of it's even a him. I need to get in sexing the young turkey.

Welcome to BYC!
You screen name cracked me up!!
....not sure you're old enough to remember the show,
or maybe it has another connotation for you

Nope, I used to watch the show, just as reruns with my Dad. I'm a hopeless throw back raised on the likes of things like howdy doody.

I love antiques and old tools etc. They just don't make things the way they used to.
H.R, How old is your turkey? Got a picture? What breed is it?

So about a month to get this coop built from when i started clearing the land.

They are enjoying the furniture!

Sweet! Congrats!!
It's a great coop/run!

Those roosts are really long(10-12'?) and relatively small,
just wonder if they would hold a half dozen turkeys.

Also the one looks like it has a vine wrapped around.....
...first thought was I hope that's not poison ivy.

We do have poison ivy, but that is a flowering vine. I watch closely because i am very allergic to ivy and va creeper. I think the 2 bigger perches are ok, that smaller one needs replacement. Hubby knew it was sketchy. They mostly walk around during the day, and roost in the coop at night.

I sold one of the jake turkeys at the swap today and gave my number to a guy that may want one. I know i have at least 3 or 4 males left.
My next big build will be a chicken coop.
