Well... We're going to give the Turkeys one more try. The poultry netting we are using to keep the birds confined had openings that were a bit too big. Turkeys are more long and narrow where chickens are more short and fat. Several times when we were around their pen the turkeys would get out and come visit us. We figured after living in the house for six weeks they were imprinted on us and only got out because they saw us. Evidently not so. After a couple of days they were nowhere to be found.
Not ones to give up easily we bought two more. They're just now three weeks old so we're back to having birds in the house again. Learning from our previous mistakes we have a plan to keep them in the pen once they move outside.
Yesterday Susan was working by the garden and just about stepped on this critter...
We talked to a friend that said momma will come back at dusk and dawn to feed it and in a couple of days they'll move on. Checked on it this morning and it's still doing fine.
My brother and sister-in-law gave us this sign. We finally got it up along our driveway. |
Take care.
Brian
