    Can my turkeys weather a heavy rainstorm on the roof

    Hey everyone. Live in Northern Arizona and expecting heavy rainfall late tonight. My two turkeys are roosting up on the roof. Short of climbing up on a ladder they aren't going to come down. Even if I get them down they usually go back up. Do I need to worry about going up to get them? It's...
