Animal safety from the cold

I am one of the most soft hearted people you will ever meet when it comes to creatures.

It doesn’t matter the type, with the exception of snakes! Even at that, I will not harm them unless they are poisonous and in my territory.

At any rate, I try and make the lives of most creatures, wild or domestic, as comfortable as possible. Heck, we even buy immense bags of cracked corn and parakeetseed to feed all the wildlife that stop in the yard all winter time long. The weather this winter time has been particularly extreme. I let my own dogs out for just a few moments at a time, just long enough to finish their corporation and come back into the heated environment. Now, I know I can’t do this for everyone, but, I am trying to recognize of a way for the wild turkeys that come each morning to go into my old chicken coop. I no longer have chickens and it would be shelter for them. I even have heat lamps out there so they could be hot during the long cold afternoons. They could come and go as they gratified, have a food source, and be able to hot up a bit. I just feel sorry for them resting out in the ice and snow each morning. My husband may not love the increase in the electric bill from running heat lamps in the coop all the time and that is honestly my only reason for not doing that, i am cheerful that my own creatures have a comfortable place to live. They have the benefit of a great Heating and Air Conditioning system and are not subjected to the environment all morning long.
