I have two pet turkeys, a ton and a hen, and I was wondering if y’all thought they would leave if they free ranged. I really want to try, but I’m scared the Tom will take off. Any experience with this?? Thank you

Providing food, water, and letting the pen open 24/7 so they have access should keep them around. Especially if the hen is a lap turkey. They're pretty social and I'm betting she'll come back for some lovin'. You could always try during the day and lock them back up at night as well. That's what I do with all of my birds. Most of the time they are already back in the pen when I go out in the evening.I have two pet turkeys, a ton and a hen, and I was wondering if y’all thought they would leave if they free ranged.

My hen is a BBW and my Tom is a burning red, so the hen is a meat bird being raised as a pet with a good quality food and lots of exercise.I had a wonderful tom. I liked him more than my hen turkey. He was a big meat bird though. Not able to lift himself off the ground.
I assume you mean Bourbon Red since there is no such thing as a Burning Red turkey.My hen is a BBW and my Tom is a burning red, so the hen is a meat bird being raised as a pet with a good quality food and lots of exercise.
