No, no, no. If someone told you that turkeys drown if they look up when it rains, don't fall for it.

AnswerThis person who answered the question is absolutely right, I once has been fooled by my friends. Turkeys never drown by looking up at the sky while it rains. Unless there was a flood.

Answer

Yes, to stop them you can go to a dollar store and buy the marbles that are flat on one side. Put them in the bottom of the waterer.

Do domestic turkeys drown in a rainstorm?

Ordinary heavy rain won't actually drown a turkey, but they will get wet and miserable if they don't have enough dry shelter. If the rainstorm actually causes flooding then yes, turkeys (and chickens too, for that matter) can drown, because they can't fly and their feathers get waterlogged, making movement difficult for them. They should always be protected from flooding if they're kept in areas where this is a risk, with their runs and sheds built on high ground with good water run-off, and rescue of them made a priority in the event of flood.


Do turkeys drown in the rain?

It is false. What started this saying was when baby turkeys are born, they do not have feathers. Mothers would huddle there chicks in there feathers when storms hit. The chicks would die from exposure to the weather. It started when farmers found there turkeys drinking falling water when raining and found dead chicks thinking that they drown from the rain when in reality they died from weather. Besides if that were true, we wouldn't have an overpopulation of turkey's.
