What's "too hot" for a turkey?
(no oven jokes, please, as this is a pet I'm asking about!)
Today was only in the mid 20s (that's in centegrade; = around 80°F) and my Rhonda was a very uncomfortable turkey (beak wide open and panting, even when sitting in the shade), so I'm getting a bit worried about how she's going to cope with 40+°C (above 100°F) days once summer hits.
Anyone have any experience keeping turkeys in warmer climes?
