I have a problem with 3 and 4 month old turkeys getting hung in the netting. It appears they put their head through one hole and then back through another creating a noose, from which they cannot escape, and I find them dead. Out of 35 turkeys I put on pasture 3 weeks ago, 15 have died this way. I have made "outriggers" to pull the fence taught, but it didn't help at all. Getting frustrated watching all these birds slowly die. I hatched all these this Spring, and fought so hard to have this many, but now I'm down to 15 remaining. at this rate, it'll be 3 weeks and they will all be dead. Can you offer any advice as to what I'm doing wrong? I bought the fencing with extra posts, and double pegs, for poultry. Thanks in advance (I have a picture if you want to see how I find them)
