Hi Chelsea

Welcome to BYC

I, like @RodNTN don't know much about turkeys

Greetings from Kansas, Chelsea, and

! Happy you joined us! I have had turkeys on and off in the past. They are a little more care-intensive than chickens. They don't take to going to the coop at night very readily. I herd mine in but once in awhile I won't get out soon enough or one will slip by me and roost in the trees. I think the best defense other than confining them in a coop and run is, if you free range them, keep them tame and well fed so they don't wander too far. Hope the Turkey Forum folks can help you out. Best wishes and thanks for joining BYC!
