    I’ve got a rookie question but does anyone here pasture raise turkeys? I’m trying to figure out the best way to graze them but I’m worried about them either straight up leaving or getting attacked by coyotes

    with my chickens, I’ll be using electric poultry netting and clipping wings

    and similarly the ducks will be in a large area secured by electric fencing but rotationally grazed within that area with non-electric fencing (as I’ve learned that they – and geese – semi-frequently electrocute themselves)

    is it best to clip the turkeys too and just run them along with my chicken tractor or will having flight feathers, a high roost, and a couple sections of electric fencing to duck into if needed be a better way to keep them safe?
