We built a 4 x 8 foot x 4 foot house for our turkeys. DH put in a 2 foot high perch along one side of the wall. We put them in at night every night as babies because of predators. They never learned to go inside by themselves. We were still having to chase them and put them away when they were full grown. Since we got athe GPD we leave the doors partially open but the turkeys do not use the house. Most of the time they perch up on the side of the Banty yard or go in and perch with the banties. They prefer to perch high up the higher the better. I have seen people use large dog houses for turkey houses and keep them inside a run. I think this is a more practical idea. But if you think they will be like chickens and learn to go inside on their own forget it. Fortunately we have not lost any to predators the dogs seem to help keep them away.
