Our turkeys are growing well and in the day are 'herded' up to the ram's field as the grass in their enclosure has been eaten down. At about 5.30pm they wait at the gate to be escorted back home where they chatter away and search out the grubs and bugs in their field. Then in the evening, like a group of teenagers, they sit on their log just hanging around. Come to bed time they are called in - yea right, think we're going in, pah! So suffering five looks of indignation - 'and we know our rights' expressions - we gently guide them into their quarters. You do feel like adding "and have you done your homework?"
This is my blog, A Green and Rosie Life, which is all about helping you live life that bit greener without having to build an off-grid log cabin in the woods or knit your own nettle fibre undies!
