Title: flydown at night
Post by: BLACKQUACK on March 27, 2011, 12:32:48 PM
Do turkeys ever flydown at night; like if there's a strong storm or very high winds?   And during nesting, hens leave the nest and fly up for the night, don't they?

BLACKQUACK,

I have never heard turkeys flying at night.

During egg laying, hens fly up at night; during incubation, they stay on the nest at night.
