Bronze turkeys are the biggest of the turkey world. Those monsters are going to have trouble hopping over each other let alone flying over a four foot fence. LOL!

The hens can get over a 4 foot fence but not the toms.

I only have one pair of standard bronze turkeys, almost 6 months old. I weighed than about a week ago. The hen was 16 lb and the tom was 26 lb. The hen flies up to an 8-ft perch every night to roost. The tom roosts on the shelter roof which requires a 4 1/2 foot vertical to get on the low end, and he makes it with no problem. Maybe I should start jacking up the low end to see how high he can get?

Today was very windy. My adult Buff Tom turkey was blown over our 6 foot fence. His one wing is clipped. I think the wind was the cause of the problem.
