Hi all,.
I'm converting my old dog run (10x10x6) Into a turkey pen for my 4 turkeys (My kids 4H project). I am going to line the sides with hardware cloth and dig down about a foot for predator proofing. I bought a large tree stake to use as a roost bar. I bought hanging feeder and waterer. The top is covered with shade tarp and is predator proof. Any other ideas for me? We are new to the whole turkey thing and I would hate for something to happen to them when we put them outside. What should I use for shelter or do they need inside shelter? They are under a shade tree plus have the shade tarp. I have a large dog house I could use, but would they need it? We are in Southern CA so cold weather isn't a problem. We would appreciate some input. Thanks!
