    electric ,turkeys

    turkeys are the singluar animal on the planet that are immune to electric fencing! I know, ridiculous. The electric fence will keep predators out, and the netting would keep the right sized turkey in, but the electricity is no deterrant to a turkey. Strange bird.

    water nipples

    there are 4 hens and 1 rooster.ive changed them over a month ago.and they got on it right away.maybe they actually stood there for 10 min drinking from the regular water drinker so i ws concerned they are not getting enough water from the nipples.
