OK, so even though your hens can fly out of the pen to make hidden nests, they always come back into the covered pen to roost when not nesting. I wish my hens did that :-(
thank you for answering all my dumb questions
But how do you keep the hens and poults safe??? Especially when hens start taking the poults into trees. there is almost no chance for survival when they do that here.
What do you do when you lose turkeys to predators? with chickens I would coop everyone for a week until the predator moves on, but it is not possible for turkeys. I don't know what to do other than stay up all night worrying.
