My Bourbon Reds
I moved my turkeys to an outdoor pen on Sunday, sadly one 9f the mature hens decided to leave the flock now down to 3 hens and Frank as the kids call him, no sign of a struggle/predators with loose feathers I clipped their wings before moving them so I know she didn't fly away.

Re: My Bourbon Reds
Oh yay!
@Giffen Farms check if any of the hens are bullying her, this can sometimes make them wander off to seek a different flock. Anyway this is prime time for them to seek out any other males.
