Bird Free!

Shane got the turkey coop done and the turkeys are out of my house!  Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years are enjoying their new home and are trying to make friends with the chickens who are just on the other side of the fence.  The plan is to open it up so they can all mingle once the turkeys are as big as the chickens and can defend themselves against them.  Gogo (who I think may be a rooster) keeps pecking at the turkeys when they get too close to the fence.  Especially Christmas who is so lovey and friendly she wants to make friends with all the new strange looking birds. 

I hate to admit it but I do miss Christmas chirping to us and we answer and we would go back and forth for a while.  The feed store thinks our turkeys are quite unique because usually by a couple weeks old turkeys are mean and peck at who ever puts their hands near the cage.  Not our girls though!  Only Christmas likes to be held but the others let us pet them from time to time.  Christmas gets most of the attention and she likes it that way!
