I ordered a GPS tracking device for my turkey hen. It's supposed to be for dogs. I don't think a turkey would like to wear a dog collar, so I'm thinking I can fashion some paracord into two loops, like a backpack. Trying to make something like the photo below. Has anyone tried this before?

If your hens are in with your tom, I would expect breeding damage to the hens with a device in that area.

You could try making a pocket in a hen saddle to slip a small device into it such as the actual unit from a tracking collar.
