Seven the turkey out eating with the adults.
Silkies seem to get along with other birds. The Nagoya Kochin seemed to drive of the sparrows, ate a couple of quail chicks, tried to kill a disabled Silky and would body slam quail adults. The Kochin are cute birds otherwise...

Food Now!
Turkey ("Seven") is write in there among the adults demanding feed. Joel Salatin wrote that Turkeys are much more energetic or active about foraging.. I'm wondering if I'll have to figure out some fencing or just give Seven to someone else in a few weeks or months. It would be fun to get set up for Turkeys.. Nice people want to do a MaruYaki Rotisserie event.. Not with Seven of course!! But in March if I can hatch a couple more eggs and end up with extra Toms (male rooster turkeys) in the winter...

I got back from work a little late and the Silkies seemed very judgemental about their meal coming late. They get that Old Testament prophet expression when they look at you.. That's what it feels like anyway..

I didn't think most Silkies would eat big caterpillars. Different birds can have different tastes about some things. And maybe this slimy little caterpillar is nutritious. I think Maron would find big ones around a cow manure pile and seemed to enjoy figuring out how to eat it before I figured out what it was. She survived: Maron not the bug..

I wonder if anyone around here wants a lap chicken..
ゆっくりとお世話する人に養子してもらえないのかな？
I don't think this little one is going to make, the inability to move along enough with the mother hen seems to be kicking in much early than the previous mangle birds..
