Newbie witha "is this normal?" Turkey Questions

OK second morning out in there run. Going to start calling them Heckle n Jeckle!! Thats what the act like.
Yesterday morning we put them in the run, they explored the whole thing looked like all was well. By afternoon they were pacing back and forth in one corner, everytime we checked on them, still pacing and trying to fly up the corner, theres no light in the corner or roost..
Played heck trying to catch them to put them in the brooder overnite, yep they fly well! Calm as all get out in the brooder.
This morning turned them out in the run and they went strait to the same corner and are now pacing again and chirping to beat the band, been pacing now for an hour!!
What gives on this???
Wondering if we should just ignore them for a couple of days (cept for food and water) and see if they settle in? Temps are very warm here at night 75 plus.
Just cannot figure out why there acting like this?? There still healthy, eating and drinking. but the pacing???
 
In my experience turkeys are abnormally stupid when it comes to navigating around gates, pens, etc. Mine get stuck behind fencing all the time when all they need to do is move over a foot or two- so they pace and chirp. Sounds like they are trying to escape - give them a few days to settle in.
