more turkey herding....

The brooder house is divided in the middle by a mesh fence. We move the front half of the house to the farthest grow-out house, and the back of the brooder house to the nearest grow-out house. Why move them? The feed and water system in the brooder house is designed for chicks, not grown birds. And, they literally fill up the house as they grow!



 














 



"Yep, that's your destination, girls" (these birds are all hens).






The crew makes the drive. It's an unusually cool day for August, with a little cloud cover and a slight breeze...








 

Donnie pushes them further inside their new house, while we prep the door to close it. The rain began about half through the last drive. We were movtivated to get them inside!
We'll move the back half of the two brooder houses later this week. Let's hope they move as readily as these girls did.
