Farm Fresh: Turkeys on the Loose

The turkeys have adjusted to their new outdoor housing well. They even learned to use the chicken nipple watering system. They are about 9-10 weeks old and we decided to let them out to free range with the many other fowls.  
 Here are some pictures of the first day.
 The kiddos helped herd them gently across the driveway toward the green bushy area that the ducks and chickens seem to enjoy.

 It took them awhile to get the idea.

 

 This is a funny picture that confirms my suspicions...The three in the foreground holding up their winds are the ladies (hens) and the one still standing (not paying attention) is a Tom (male turkey). They are practicing for their mating rituals.
