Ok so my turkeys have been in a box for three weeks with a light. We've been trying to wean them out of their box by putting them in an outside cage for a little while sometimes but they freak out and run into the walls every time. Then when I put them back in their box they freak out again But not for as long how can i get them to calm down and adjust to being outside all the time
 
Folding infant/toddler fences come in handy to create movable, outdoor temp. runs. If taken out regularly, on warm days, they'll eventually drive you up the wall `yelling' to be carried out the door. Whatever you use, out-of-doors, make sure it is covered.
 
Mine loved to be outside and it seemed to take them awhile to realize they could hop my smaller fenced off 3 ft high fence. They really only started going out maybe at 5-6 weeks though. So long as they have enough shade and some plants or weeds to discover, they should be fine. My Narris are 8-10 weeks now.They particularly love when I water my orange trees. They love to walk in the water, drink it, etc. It gets about 95 degrees here daily though. They will get over it and learn to enjoy themselves once they calm down. Good luck!!
