Turkey update: out of the birdhouse

Dan lets the turkeys roam between their pen and the reserve chicken pen twice daily for about 10 minutes at a time.

They love to eat the tall grass seeds.

If you stay still for a few minutes, they will come near enough to get a good look at you, but they won't come close enough for you to touch them. The next step is to let them out into their pasture unchaperoned during the day, but they still seem too small to be left alone for that amount of time.
