I built the turkey roost shelter this past year, and my turkeys would spend all night on it if I let them, but I
prefer to lock them up at night to prevent predators from getting them. A hoop structures is Ideal especially for a breeding pen setup, I plan to
build a couple of those this coming season.
Here's a picture of my turkey roost shelter...
my pen is 20 x 40 it will hold 12 or so comfortably (only normal pecking order fights)
their feeder (which i use in pen and outside when i let them free range.
Turkey pen and roost is the first one you see with shade cloth/roofing panels. I have 2x4s laid flat under the roofing itll roost about 20-25 full grown. 8x10 area with 4 roosts. Shade clothe is "stitched" to aluminum aircraft cable.
We converted an old shed into our Turkey pen. It has outdoor roosts and indoor roosts. All of our turkeys young and old roost off of the ground at night time.
Just finished this pen for my turkeys, i havent got any out side perches, i dare say ill add things to it but out of ideas at the moment.

Thank you for all the posts with pictures of turkey pens in one form. Was very helpful.
Mine won't go in a coop but they like their elevated house for laying eggs or severe weather on occasion. Usually they just sit on their perches even in storms. We get -10 regularly in the winter.
