4H turkeys - Suggestions on how to keep them active

[Texasfilly79]

My daughter is raising Turkeys for 4H this year and one of the key things that the extension office noted was to go in and move the Turkeys around to get them up and eating every hour.

Now, since we do not have anyone at home all day, does anyone have experience in getting them up with say, music on a timer, or some other way to get them moving while we are not at the house?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have a yellow and red feed bucket that I use. they see it and they get all excited. I also feed them in stages. Sometimes I collect the food they haven't eaten and mix it around in the bucket and and pour it back in the feeders and fake them out. They gobble it up thinking it's new stuff. I have the ones my boys have already picked in a pen, but the rest free range.
