October 13, 2008 – Pastured Turkeys

Posted by | Filed under Animals - Turkeys, Farm - All | Oct 13, 2008 | No Comments

Our pastured turkeys are now out living the good turkey life.  These are the regular old commercial turkeys but we’ve trained them some new tricks.

We move this old hay wagon around the pasture with their feeder connected to it.  If it’s not raining they roost on top of the wagon at night.  We’ve got some electric netting around their area to keep predators out.  They get water in a different place from a 55 gallon bucket that fills from the gutters off an old outbuilding.  We leave the door open in the brooding shed and they can seek shelter in there if the weather turns nasty (and they have).
