Back in February, we constructed a turkey pen in the barn to keep the turkeys contained during breeding season. It's not uncommon for wild turkeys to entice our birds to join them. A few of our hens went missing in this manner last year, so this is an attempt to prevent that from happening again. We love our flock and want to keep them! So, ta-da!! Here's the pen pictured on the right! So far having them in the pen wasn't very exciting for the birds. They'd rather spend time on top of it rather than in it, but it's for their own good. As mentioned in a previous post, soon we'll be collecting the eggs laid and incubating them! We'll keep you abreast of all the happenings!
