Brave New World

Checking out their new surroundings

Over the last week and weekend we were able to put the finishing touches on the run for the chicks and turkeys.  The gate is on, chicken wire staked down, and netting is up.  Seems pretty predator proof but I think Kenn is secretly hoping for a bobcat to fall victim to our netting over the top of the run. 

For hours we watched our chicks and turkeys take brave leaps out of the barn coop and into their new outdoor world.  It was amusing to watch as they flailed and hurled themselves out the doors.  I thought they needed a ramp at least to get back into the coop, but nope!  Those brave birds were able to hop right back into the safety of their indoor home.
