The trouble with (free-range) turkeys
I had to laugh while scouring the internet today. I found a sincere post from Cheryl in Alabama, on Homesteading Today, who had started experiementing with letting her foul go free range. "The ducks, the geese and the chickens so far are reasonably mannered ... But the TURKEYS," she writes, " they get on the cars."Apparently she tries to shoo them away with a broom but it does little to keep them off her automobile. I found this all very amusing as I have never raised turkeys. What struck me as even funnier than that was the fact that this is a common problem.
So if you are looking to raise some free-range turkeys or if you already have a few, here are some ways to keep them from ruining your paint job.
- Build them a structure that is more appealing to roost.
- Set up a sprinkler system near you car that you can turn on whenever they are nearby.
- Let your dog rest there instead.
