Turkey question

Quote:
You can house them together but the turkey can get blackhead if you do. I'm not entirely sure what it is ... but chickens don't get it, just the turkeys. The kids raise their 4H market turkeys with our chickens and never have any trouble. But those turkeys are only around for about 3 months.

Well, got the roost built

actually a double decker in case the high spot is too close to the netting for his royal taste!

He seems much more content with the area when I put him back in...no more bottom half of the dog house, new roosts and higher netting to keep him in...I have seen him eat before, but just picking at the food....when I put him in this time, he CHOWED DOWN! lol

So I guess he approved!

We'll see what happens tonight..

...if he lays on the cold wet ground again, he may be a Harvest dinner instead of Thanksgiving!!

Now I need to go get this chill out of me....brrrr....was a cold rainy mornin to be messin around outside, but I hate it when my animals aren't content!

COOOOOOFFFFFFFFEEEEEE!!!!!

Thanks again all for your input!
