We moved the roost into the pasture finally. It is surrounded by an electric net fence and solar charger. Hopefully this will keep the young turkeys in and keep some predators out. We placed 15 turkeys into the roost for the first nigt. Good luck to these little pioneers!
Two young turkeys 'missing'
Two of the young turkeys moved to the new roost are missing. This morning's headcount revealed only 13. There are no signs of a struggle though, so perhaps the escaoed and ran back to the barn? If nit the fox got them.UPDATE: So far this hasnt worked out. After a week all the baby turkeys have managed to escape over the fence and return to the barn with their buddies. We either need a higher fence or more distance from roost to fence.
