Turkeys: Class of 2011

I thought the Ravens were going to eat all the eggs before they became turkey chicks as there was often a fresh empty eggshell on their favored stump in the morning. (see A Raven’s Breakfast )

But, this afternoon, we had these visitors. There is another hen and a few more chicks out of sight, stage left. There look to be 3 sizes of chicks so apparently each of the hens hatched a few.

Bob took a laid back approach to keeping an eye on things.

I noticed the group as 2 of the hens were heading for the front porch with a determined glint in their eyes…

I’m not sure if they were bearing down on Bob or Bob’s food…

The food and Bob are safe.
