Hi,
We are raising turkeys for the first time this year and I have a few questions ours are now about a month old or so and are currently confined to the barn. We have everything around here pretty much free range and are hoping to do the same with the turkeys. I am wondering are turkeys pretty good at putting them self to bed at night like the chickens do? I have noticed these guys are much more curious about going and doing things the chickens we raised last year took weeks to even explore the other half of there stall in the barn the turkeys are already bouncing off the walls
Also the few full grown turkeys I have seen on farms are usually fairly fat and just kind of walk around and hang out how common is it for domestic turkeys to fly? With as much energy as they have now I am starting to think I need to be concerned about them flying over our pasture fences. Thanks in advance Nicki
