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.

DOn't give up on her. A few years ago I caught one of my BSW girls cheating with the slate Tom at a neighbours!

The hen came back I'm guessing out for a tour and lost track of time before dusk

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.
