I am planning to get some midget white turkey chics in May. I want them to be pasture raised but am concerned about the fact that they can fly. Recently (yesterday) I dispatched the last of my Rio Grande turkey X. They were large beautiful birds, not the freakish large breasted things that you see in the stores, more like a wild turkey. The taste, AMAZING with the best, rich gravy we have ever tasted. I just hated to have to have them in a coop that was much like a jail,although they did have the whole barn to wander around and poop all over as well as a fenced in run. Otherwise they would (and did) fly away requiring my partner and I chase them all over the damn place. Any advise from you wise poultry folks?
thanks
