They can fly as soon as they get real feathers.

You've never seen a turkey fly before? They roost in the trees every night.

Seen em roost in honey locust several weeks back, all dotted along limbs like ornaments. Today though, late this afternoon, just the mom turkey walked thru. Not sure where the fledglings were, I asked her, but she didn't gobble.
They (those last 5) can fly some by now, just how much, or how far is what I was asking about? Maybe the kids went out for an evening fly-in movie.

The dogs split mom and the babies up last year. I seen them go about 50 yards to the top of a tree.

Turkey crew together again. The hen accompanied by her rafter of jakes and jennies. The 5 lil ones are getting bright orange colorings.
