Hello,
First context: I have 1 acre of land, fully fenced (min 5 feet). Lots of diverse fruit trees and grass. Mild winters with no snow.
I have chicken and ducks, which I use mostly for grass and vegetation control (especially in the winter).
I was thinking about start with Turkey as well:
My initial plan was to buy the eggs, incubate them, free range them when possible and harvest the birds still young for grill (or let them grow as much as possible).
Questions and concerns:
- With clipped wings would I be able to contain them in a 5 feet fence?
- How noisy are them while young? I don't want to disturb the neighbors. Is there an age from which they get noisier?
