Is it true that turkeys will drown, if you leave them out in the rain sometimes? I've heard they aren't smart enough sometimes to move their head, so that the water doesn't run into their lungs.

It is generally true that turkeys, along with other cold blooded animals like ducks and chickens, can drown if they are left in wet, high grass or standing in water for too long. This is due to the fact that their body temperatures are more susceptible to cold than warm and can easily cause them to be vulnerable to wet conditions and cold stress. However, turkeys are actually quite intelligent and able to learn the basics of problem solving and respond well to handling, therefore, they may be able to escape the wet or changing weather on their own if needed. Nonetheless, it is advised to provide them with secure housing and shelter, and take all necessary measures to keep them safe and out of the elements.
