Turkey Lurkey

I was given my two weeks notice, I've been laid off from my job. It has inspired us to push harder towards homesteading (providing for ourselves most temporal needs). We bought some turkeys. One Male and Four Females. We hope they will breed and provide a lot of white meat! 


 You'll hear me gobble at the Tom to get them started and one of his ladies starting to call back but then the battery quit. I'll get more footage later (I love these turkeys)
We haven't' finished the turkey coop yet (we're calling it the Poultry Palace) due to the snow but we are close. Right now the chickens and turkeys are sharing the Egg layer portion of the Palace. The chickens kept starting fights so they got put on 'time out' inside the coop. This gave the turkeys the run of the place.

Surprisingly we are still getting a remarkable amount of eggs even though they are locked in a dark building.
