Thinking of free ranging the turkeys | Animals | Forums

nice, I need to research if there would be a issue with the dogs if they got into their poop, I had a friend lose two dogs cause they got into wild turkeys poop, but I think it is a disease the wild ones carry

so the girls were giving me the eye

so I said heck with it, let's do this!

And they went straight to the blueberry bushes

and then the cherry trees

I might have to rethink this! lol

on a side note I moved the meat birds into the large coop and set them in the run because it was really hot, well it got cold last night and down poured and I went out this morning and the birds will still out in the run half drowned and froze to death, so I carried them all in the coop and set them on shavings under the heat lamp and massaged them till some semblance of life came back into them, thought I was going to lose two, their legs were stiff and curled up under them, so I put them at the bottom of the pile, looks like they are going to pull through when I just checked on them, lesson learned on that one

got about in the 60's but they were sitting on the ground and they still haven't all feathered out, I thought they would let themselves in the coop, they were all back to normal yesterday morning, the run is totally enclosed, so nothing would have gotten to them, as far as critters, only issues we have had the last 4 years were skunks and groundhogs, but I think we have decimated the local population, haven't seen one in 2 years
