Hello! I have 5 fertilized Narragansett eggs incubating right now so fingers crossed we get some to hatch! However, I'm starting to feel the pressure of actually raising them! Would love advice.
We live on 3 acres, our chickens have a large coop they faithfully go in at night and primarily free-range during the day, other than bad weather or if we're going to be gone most of the day. The chickens we have never had issues with leaving our property, but I'm worried about the turkeys wandering off or bothering our neighbors. Our property is unfenced, any tips?
Also, it sounds like turkeys don't typically go in coops, they will just roost in trees? Which is fine, but even in the winter? We're in Nebraska so our winters are very cold with snow.
Lastly, we have a large garden, it's fenced but only 4 foot so I doubt that will keep them out. I know my husband will lose his mind if they destroy his garden so any advice on keeping them out of there would be much appreciated!!
