Husband wanted to try out turkeys...

[AgnesGray]

We love our turkeys! If we had to keep only a few birds, I'd want a few of them to be turkeys. We find them to be light on feed and fairly neat and tidy, as birds go (heritage, not meaties), and also more interactive somehow than some of our other species. And delicious!

Nice looking coop!

Been awhile, they look like all hens now.

Okay, so I did have a bird thread!

I got free metal and wood.
Got one roof of one run finished!
One more roof to measure, cut, secure, screw in!
Then I'll use more metal along the bottom to block wind, rain, snow. Hopefully, I'll find thinner wood than 2×4s for the bottom!

I'll redo that blue rabbit pen in metal as well, if there's any left.

Got the other roof on! Metal gets used up fast!

Using 3 roofs to get screws in.

Will need ridgecap and a few more screws.

There's about a 6-7in overhang on 3 sloped sides.
