Hey everyone!
My wife and I acquired 6 heritage turkeys (Narragansett) from a friend, and had to build a quick run/coop for them. Here is what we have....
I know the door is a little fancy, but it is was the cheapest available! We are planning to free range these gobblers once they attribute the area as their home. However, we are about to get some colder weather - around 25F (-3C). The turkeys typically huddle together on the top perch under the tarp. They are roughly 10 weeks old. Do we need to worry about them being in the open? Should I put a tarp along the back and sides more to cover them?
