Ok so i have 4 turkeys two toms and two hens but i jave bo idea how to keep them on my property i leave then my dog run during night but when i let them out for the day the leave the property and dont come back unless i go chase them back... Andy advice or ideas
 
how old are they, how much handling or contact do or did you have with them as poults. I would clip the wings of the hens - they are the ones that usually want to wander especially this time of year.
Last year one of my turkey hens kept going over to the neighbours fields to lay her eggs in a secret nest and she got ripped to pieces by their terrier dogs which was horrible. After that I finally got my courage up and clipped the girls wings. The boys just want to stay with the girls.
Clipping their wings is easy. Look it up here, you cut 10 primary feathers, they don`t feel it. It`s like clipping toenails for us

But look it up so you can do it properly.
good luck!
