I might also add that a new predator has appeared on the scene since I've gotten more laying hens. This morning around 05:30 I awoke to the familiar sound of a hoot-hoot-hoot hoot of a Great-horned owl somewhere near my barn. The automatic light over the chicken pen was on, the roosters were crowing, and Mr. Owl certainly was reading the room! I'll keep you posted, hopefully with some pictures. PS, all the girls are kept inside at night, and I don't let them out till daylight. |

the wild turkeys are so cool to see! good luck with the owl lurker!
Great photos of the turkey poults. They even look as if they are hurrying.
Great sighting, I hope they find a good place to be safe and hide.
No wonder they're skittish, it's perilously close to Thanksgiving. Do owls attack fully grown chickens???
You're lucky to be able to see such great birds in the wild.
Great sighting!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Wow...good things your hens have a safe haven! That would be cool to capture a pic of the owl though!!!!
Getting a Turkey photo from the front is quite a trick, they are always moving away! Exciting news on the owl, unless your a chicken of course! I will hope for a picture!
They are superb!
love them
:)
Wonderful capture of this little group!
Wild Turkeys are a treat to see!
Neat! I don't see turkeys too often. Would love to see more of them.
Turkeys are such strange looking birds, but they are a lot of fun to see in the wild!
Great turkey shots! The background is wonderful.
