I was wondering, those of you with turkeys, do you let them free range or do you keep them in a pen? I have what I call pasture fencing, 4-5 feet tall around the perimeter of my place. Not barb wire, but wire fencing that has an approximate 6 inch square. Would that be enough to keep them contained or would they just fly out? My dh says turkeys don't fly that well, but I keep hearing they like to roost in trees so they must fly better than he thinks. Those of you that keep them penned, do you have a top on the pen and what is it made out of..netting, wire?? Another question... Is there a difference between a white palm and a royal palm? asked the owner what the difference between them was, she said she really didn't know, she just always thought her were a white palm and never heard of the royal palm.
Last question, at least for now
, can you sex three month old turkeys? Again, the owner said no, but I thought there was a notiable differene. Thanks, guys, in advance for all your help and any other advice you have for a possible (depends on the answers I get here) newbie turkey owner would be greatly appreciated.
