Turk's "friends" are back...he's not happy.

The wild turkeys have returned to the farm. There are 25-30 of them of various ages and both genders. Some of them are very large, and the flock as a whole is quite noisy. Turk stands in the yard and gobbles at them..."just keep going. This is my territory!" He struts in all his glory to stress the point. Humorously, the juveniles he has taken custody of were trying their best to strut too. It will take a bit of practice for them to get it right. They have relieved the Momma hen of her duties and only the turkeys are together now. They are apparently at the teenager stage now, as they do not want to go to their room to go to bed at night and it takes a great deal of persuasion to get them there. They have been a delightful addition to Prairie House.
