Turkeys roosting everywhere!

[peltierk]

We have threebronze broad breasted Turks and one Naraganset heritage, all about 4 months old. All free range for a few hours during the day with our ducks, and stay in the same coop/run at night. The BBB have taken to roosting on top of things we wish they wouldn’t- in fact, it scares me they’ll break a leg getting down from things like our BBQ. Any tactics to deter them from adventuring like this?

Provide them with desirable roosts in an enclosed pen. It won't be long until the type of roost that is appropriate for broad breasted turkeys will be a bale of hay or straw.
