Turkeys!
These 2 cute little baby turkeys came home in April of 2026.
I specifically went out to their coop every single day with my toddler to socialize them.
They would come outside with us and the goats to graze.
It was great!
My kid would run, and all the animals would run to be fed.
This might’ve been where I ruined a turkey.
I thought it was cute until the male started getting spicy.
He would puff up his feathers around my toddler and me. I would ignore him and life would go on.
Then one day, his friend the peacock was out of the coop overnight and crying for his friends. So I let the turkeys out to walk out back to find the peacock with me.
All was fine until the male rushed me on the walk back because the female thought I had a treat.
I thought we had sorted things out, but instead, he tried again, wings flapping, and I kicked at him…not smart for me.
He wanted to try his feet, too.
It was a long walk to the house for a shovel to keep him at bay while getting him back to the coop.
Now I’ve lost all trust with him.
So if you want to ruin a turkey, kick off their prey drive, then spark their instinct to fight with their feet. 🙃
Also, he’s now terrible to the peacock. Dude is missing head feathers! So the male Turkey is making the Thanksgiving holiday extra special this year.
