What setup is needed for turkeys?

[minou33]

I'd like to get a pair of adult Toms. I have a barn with a fenced in paddock, but no actual secure chicken run area. What do you think is absolutely necessary to have prior to getting the birds?

A place where they can be locked in at night at least or they will roost everywhere, mine free range for part of the day but I'm glad I have a run, turkeys can be a bit annoying when left loose all the time. Adult toms don't really fly up too high so a four foot tall welded wire works nice.
