muledeerarea33? Report post Posted April 30, 2023 I got a few about a month ago. Broad breasted white and broad breasted artisan black is what I was told they were. Anyways, I think they’re about ready to head outside permanent. Any thoughts on how long I should keep them inside? They are all roughly game hen/big pheasant size currently.

Edge Report post Posted April 30, 2023 We raise Royal Palms and its fun to watch the tom strut around. Not sure what your question is. We keep ours in a yard during the day with 6' tall.fence and lock them up in an aviary at night. They like to roost as high as they can get so it's a delicate balance knowing how much wing to clip and still enable them to roost high off the ground. Helps if they have an old dead tree with limbs to get up. Turkeys are one of bobcats favorite prey. You've got to enclose them at night, roof and floor too. Still might have some taken in the daylight by predators. Our turkeys put themselves away at dusk, we just have to lock the doors behind them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
