The Turkey Coop


We woke up to another cold wet rainy day.  Darling Husband needed to finish the turkey coop.  But, for some reason before he could start he and Teen Son needed to go to the feed store.  They came home with more chicks!  We don’t have a place for the turkeys and now we have more chickens???  They put the new baby chickens with the older baby chickens and the older chickens start pecking at the babies so we divided their cage by putting a screen in that has openings big enough for the baby chicks to go through if they want. 
The guys discovered that one of the turkey hens had laid an egg.  Teen Son was so excited to show it to us he tripped, dropped, and cracked it on the way to show it to us.









Then Darling Husband left to run some errands and one thing led to another and the turkey coop didn’t get finished until the next day.  It is beautiful!  If I had to do it again now that the turkeys are in it, it would be deeper (don’t tell DH that).  It is beautiful the turkeys are happy, since then we have 3 more eggs.
 One thing I will say is it is amazing how huge turkey poop is.
