Herb was actually right- wild turkeys CAN fly, though not very high or very far. But domesticated turkeys (the kind WKRP would probably have bought from a farmer) are generally bred to be very meaty AND are fed so much that they can no longer fly. Indeed, most are so fat that even traditional mating is difficult or impossible, meaning most domesticated turkey eggs must be fertilized artificially. ---
