Three days ago 4 turkeys flew into our pasture. There were 2 Toms (males) and 2 Female turkeys. The chickens were out of the chicken coop that day so of course they had NO IDEA what in the world those big gobbling things were. 11 of the chickens flew over the fence and into the woods. We have 21 chickens so we were sad that only a few chickens were left. Anyways we called some friends that live up the road and they said those were actually partly wild but kept as pets. Our friends that we called knew the people that the turkeys belonged to so they gave us the number to call them. We did call them but they didn't answer the phone so my mom left a message just saying that we thought that there turkeys were in our backyard. They called back later to say that they could shoo them out of our yard or trees. Instead we just kept them. They will not leave (or at least they haven't left YET!). Yes there still here roosting in the trees at night and in the pasture in the day. Oh and the chickens all came back. So we haven't let them out, until today. Not a good idea the rooster and the Tom started fighting. Then the chicken went back in there coop afraid. The turkeys are so PRETTY! :)
