This is another installment in our adventures in turkey raising. Dinner, our wonderful tom, like to "Rule the Roost" in many ways. Yesterday we let all of the chickens and the two turkeys out to roam the backyard. It's the end of the summer growing season and what plants the birds do eat is okay. In a few weeks when the fall/winter garden goes in, they will no longer be welcome to range around the yard. As you can see, the dogs and birds mostly ignore each other.
Previously we've mentioned that Dinner likes to get on the roof of the outside room. His problem is that once he is up he is afraid to "fly" down. We moved the rabbitless hutch so he can't hop up onto the roof and for a few days that solution has worked. I had to make a new perch for the chickens though, as they used the hutch roof to sleep on at night.
Today Dinner added a new place to the list of places he gets stuck.
This is the fence, which I am in the process of raising, between the two chicken pens. Not only is Dinner ruling over his hens, he is now trying to rule over all the hens. Maybe this will turn into a "Marly and Me" type story.
