We haven't posted in a couple weeks due to vacation. During that time one of our Momma turkeys flew over the fence to coax her babies who had slipped through the fence back to the yard. Here she is in the middle of the neighbor's soybean field.
It was a frustrating experience. I was not going to walk into someone's crops, and risk damaging them. She was near the driveway in the morning waiting for us to let her in through the gate, noisily telling us about her adventures. Unfortunately, the five poults were lost.
