When your granddaughter leaves water in the tub....you have a ducky play date.

From top to bottom

1: Turkey
2: Duck
3: Chicken

All of our ladies are officially laying eggs..... too bad our roost is a roost of ballers.

1 Tina and 3 Tom
5 roosters and 4 hen
2 Lady Ducks no ballers

Maybe next year we will get better on the ladies!!!

It’s going to be cold tonight so fresh straw and some weather wrapping to the coop so everyone stays warmer. Damn turkeys have no clue that they are supposed to go into the coop to avoid weather so with the babies in the big pen I added the light to attract all the birds inside. We shall see how this all goes tomorrow.

We finished the introduction of biddies to the big birds pen today. Not everyone is happy but no bad interactions tonight.

The turkeys, ducks, and Oatie the rooster have a new coop. It’s about 65 % done. With some plastic wrapping, a door, and some wood shingle slabs it will be totally complete.

Thanks to Alex Dyer and Heath Cohen-Campbell for there time and construction work!

I am slowly inviting people as I add more content to the page. I hate all the page invites out there with nothing to them!

Now that the hunt for the missing chicks is over we installed the new gravity feeder and I must say it was a hit with all of the flock. When I get there thermal winter bowl I’ll use the rubber pan as a ground catch for the feeder so maybe we can cut waste to zip.

Between the weather last night and the wild wind today we managed to lose five chicks. We were needless to say frantic. But as of 6pm tonight all five missing wild children are found and back in the broody box. Even the one who was missing almost 24 hours!

Note two were found under the trailer and two were found in the falling down shed(time for it to go) and the last one just appeared running around trying to get back with its clutch.

Well with there feathers down and not a care in the world you can’t tell male from female but when they got riled up and started chasing Indiana around we confirmed we have three teenage Toms and a one hen... sigh maybe a local gentleman who also has some white broad breasted turkeys might have a trade just hate to break up this rafter ( a group of domesticated turkeys). Than again the female duck is in love with one of the toms so maybe that’s not a good idea.

25/09/2020

I’d almost adopt this one!

Oatmeal decided to check out underneath the trailer so dad and Storm has to go prompt him to get out

24/09/2020

We introduced the flock to the area we used to have the pond in so they could eat some yummy bugs and acorns

*****no animals were harmed in the making of this video****

Storm has been raised in and around the broody boxes since she was a 10 week old kitten. Sometimes I think she believes she is a sheep dog. I used to worry about her hurting the tiny babies and then the turkeys exploded in size and I wondered if they would hurt her.

Now I just find it hilarious that I have a bird wrangling cat!

24/09/2020

Storm was saying Hi to the babies she wants to make sure they know who the bird wrangler is around here

24/09/2020

The babies are enjoying the outdoor broody box.

23/09/2020

And we have our first (and 2nd) turkey egg. Our very broody Jenny Turkey is laying while trying to decide if she wants to steal the baby chicks.

23/09/2020

Let all the babies and all the teenagers out together today. Not everyone was happy but one turkey wants to mother the chicks. She spent some time in the broody box with them getting love from Indiana.

22/09/2020

The grandkids love the wild life for sure.

Wellll Jaxson thinks we don’t need chicks buttttt he didn’t mind picking up these guys. Four leghorns (mixed) two Rhode Island Red hens and two buff Orpington hens.

22/09/2020

Indiana and Jaxson wouldn’t let me get a new fowl friends alone.

Oatmeal our first new comer to the roost. He tries to crow like a champ and thinks he succeeds as there is no other rooster to tell him otherwise.
