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.

Yes, this is true. Turkeys are sensitive to high humidity environments and can drown if left out in the rain for a prolonged period of time.

Yes, it is true that turkeys will drown if left out in the rain. They have been known to panic and become overwhelmed by the water, resulting in them being unable to move their heads out of the way quickly enough to prevent water from entering their lungs.
