The turkey Mums

Well Kim decided yesterday afternoon to introduce her lone baby to the others. I was worried about it because she had been so protective she didn't want it to go out. It's a couple of days younger too which is huge that first week. Well by the evening they all went into the same coop and settled together. Today they have been happily roaming about as a group, 4 Mums and 10 babies with the Mums making that lovely soft cooing noise. This afternoon I got the surprise of my life. I went down to the paddock to have coffee. I am always careful to give them their space and not stress them. Not sure why but they brought the babies over to me and I can only say "introduced them". I was quite gobsmacked. What lovely, clever girls.
Did I ever mention I really, really like turkeys!
