Raising Backyard Turkeys: Field Trip to the Living Room

Posted on April 13th, 2012 by Tonia 4 Comments

We let the “turklets” {as Lily called them} out of their box today and they ran like crazy all over the house. They flapped their little wings to help them run supersuperfast.

And then they found a spot of sun on the floor in the living room, and it was all over. The urge to hunker down under those warm rays and take a nap was too strong for even the most precocious and lively turklet in the world.

“This looks like a good spot for a nap, wouldn’t you say?”

They’re still too little to go outside. We tried it, and within seconds they were shivering with cold.

But the sunny floor in the living room…now that’s alright.

Here’s a video of them dozing off:

    they are so fun! I am glad you are facing your great fear of turkeys. Can you please make Easter greeting cards out of that picture of the turkey legs?
