Meet Miss Sophie Gobbles, our most recent guest resident wild turkey.
Remember Miss Gertie Maude Gibble Gobbles and she who followed, Gertie’s Ghost? It seems our chicken and duck flock magnetically attract one wild turkey hen to the property at a time. Sophie is beautiful and far less feral than Gertie’s Ghost. We all know Miss Gertie herself nearly ran me over, trying to jump into my arms - no wildness there in that (big) gal.
Welcome, Sophie! We hope you decide to stay a while, past the month of November at the very least. Your attraction to Boo-Boo Spooky, our black naked-neck rooster, seems to be reciprocated. Perhaps Mr. Boo-Boo will entice to you stay and be protected by His Turckenness.
