Turkey pen . . .





For your reference...Top board of pen stands closes to seven feet high.

So, how are you faring this winter?

    I wanted to photograph them on their roosts, but that happens in the dark--not a good time to go flashing around in the barn.

    Wish I could have recorded the sound for you...they had so much to say!

    Old dairy barn...needs lots of love, but it has lots of great features and its own sparrow population.

    I just drove by your house and noticed all the snow, but it looks even more massive close up in the photos. The kids can't wait for warmer weather so they can slide down the snowbanks. :)

    Caroline, it is to fun to see your great dairy barn.

    I love that it has it's own sparrow population. Your turkeys are certainly fortunate as Marie has said :) We have had record snow here in NH, but it still does not rival yours with 7' drifts.

    Glad you mentioned the SOUND of the turkeys.... it adds a whole new dimension to my imagination!!

    I love your barn.. I have this thing for barns.. I love taking photos of them..

    Wow you have So much SNOW!! I think we have a couple of feet now, but it looks like you have 3 times more...

    Turkeys.. I don't own any, but there are always wild Turkeys in our yard, and out in the prairie.. all year we see them.. They wreck our bird feeders constantly and dig up the bulbs I plant.. Naughty Turkeys.. Yours are better behaved im sure, and cuter too :)

    Hope you are well,
    Juli~

    Hi, Juli--I'm laughing over your wild turkey comments--we have a wild turkey hen who attached herself to our flock, no kidding. She had a regular routine over the summer (roosted in trees around the house until her buddies were let out every morning), moved in with the chickens over the fall, then we finally got her out of there and she picked her spot IN the barn with the other turkeys for the winter. I named her Betsy just because. She is SO funny--a real sunflower seed HOG--will chase off all the other birds.

    I'm glad you said someting about bulbs---our turkeys stay in their pen unless we're outdoors to supervise them, so that helps my flower beds, I think. Now, I'm wondering....

    Come on over and take photos of our barn if you want!
    :-)
