Had some good home hatchings this year. My girls lay and hatch where ever they want to they more yard candy then for profit. Sitting outside enjoying watching all the birds. I watched the momma turkey bring her wee babies right up to the stray cats water bucket with a good group of strays and kittens. Momma drinking out of the bucket and the baby's all sat down waiting right there in the mixed group. And I thought hun, isn't that something that the cats/kitten didn't even act like they noticed them. This morning out in the yard I see momma turkey taking her older little bit bigger babies right up to a group of playing kittens and just stopping, babies right there with the kittens. I was about to step in correct, from a distance as one was doing a little stalking. Then realize momma bird was making herself bigger ready to strike it. Kitten back down and then she walked right pass with babies in tow. Found it interesting that she on purpose went over there to beat up any misbehaving kittens "teach them when the kittens are young" sorta thing.
I 've enjoyed them being more pasture turkeys over the years.
