The word is out!

Apparently word has spread that Prairie House isn't a bad place for turkeys to hang out. Tonight at turkey bedtime it seemed the birds were making a lot more noise than usual. When I looked out the window, there were 5 wild turkeys standing in the driveway. As I opened the door to get a better look, their Tom took them up the hill and across the highway. Apparently the wild ones are traffic savvy because just a few minutes later they were back. This time when Rick opened the door they mosied on across the driveway to the east and waddled on past the white rail fence. It should be interesting to see if they stay here or if they tempt our turkeys to follow them and join the wide, wide world of wild animals. Hopefully ours will be smart enough to stay here, but I have heard stories of the wild ones leading the tame ones astray. I guess we should plan on putting some of those turkey eggs in the incubator just in case.
