My 5 rambunctious 3.5 mo Standard Bronze, White Midget & Black Spanish turkeys are getting TOO adventuresome. Despite clipping their wings, they think nothing of roosting on, and subsequently hopping over, a 5 foot fence. Yesterday I saw them at the very edge of our 12 acres, which is heavily wooded and coyote country, not to mention, just one more fence away from a housing development full of million dollar houses who I think would not care for turkey poop on their porch! I can't afford to build large, covered pens-not of the size I would be happy with to give them adequate roaming room anyway. I thought about electronet, but I saw there was a big disclaimer on the ad that said "Do not use to fence turkeys" Anybody know WHY? Does it hurt them? Not work well? Any other suggestions? Can the electronet hurt the chickens, or my cats? I am not worried about keeping predators out, the cats and dog do that, but I want to keep all of the birds on MY land...and if it works well enough, keeping them off MY porch wouldn't be so bad either!
