Poult update

[TRKYHTR]

I put my poults in the big pen a few weeks ago. They had a hard time adjusting to being in the land of the giants. A couple days ago my chickens were making a ruckus so I went to check them out. I couldn't believe what I saw in the turkey pen. I guess my Adult gobbler, and ruler of the pen, adopted my chicks. He had 2 chicks under 1 wing and 1 under the other and another chick was trying to get to him but there was a 2X4 in the way. Last night all 7 poults were trying to get next to him. I guess they feel safe next to the big dog. Turkeys never cease to amaze me.

I have never seen a gobbler do it but I have seen a hen do it. I have also seen a Jake set on some eggs. Go figure.
I have 4 adults, 2 hens and 2 toms. I have 7 poults and a few more eggs in the incubator.
