Achievement unlocked: two different animal species spending the night in the same coop. The geese are on the ground, the turkeys on top. The geese kept going after the turkeys, but they took the higher road. ;) Just the way they like it. #poultrylife #turkeysandgeese #gansos #perus #vidanocampo

Turkeys above, geese below. Looks like tonight they'll spend the night together in the same coop. We tried yesterday, but the geese were terrorizing the poor turkeys. Today's attempt also started with bullying, but then the turkeys realized they can roost. Everyone seems content so far. #geese #goslings #turkeys #turkeysroosting

Finished weeding and mulching the east swale berm, then mowed a path between the tree lines. We'd previously mow everything around the plants.
