Turkey flew away, hasn't came back.

Today my Spanish Black turkey (16 weeks) was in my dog's fence so when I went to get him out he flew away and hasn't come back. Will he come back tonight? He's been free ranging for about two months now and has never done this, so I'm worried.

He has been loose before but has come back??? If that's the case then he will probably come back but something could have gotten him. I hope not though. Good luck

He free ranges all day, i saw him about 5pm in a neighbors tree, he flew towards home, but was not in the coop when I locked it up tonight

ChickNHood, that'd be a heck of a flight to Illinois. Small, black, 16 weeks, if you see him, let me know haha

Did your turkey ever come home?

Hey guys, the turkey attempted to come home the next day, got hit by a car in the middle of the road

....neighbors were kind enough to give me a new one tho! Can't beat good neighbors!
