Blackhead.. a desease chickens can transmit to the turkeys.. and yes they have to be seperate becasue of it...so seperate... I also keep Ducks and geese seperate well they are together but seperate from chickens and Turkeys only because they like the ground wet and chickens prefer a drier...
I also did itfor that reason .. Same reason I also Rabbits, ducks, Turkeys, Quail, Geese, Breed hunting Labradors... My family and I will Never starve...
But I have to admit I love doing it being a city boy Most of My life.. I love My Acres...
that is My dream also.... Don't tell My wife.. I planning on having it in Flordia when I retire... looking to buy 40-60 acres and go for it.. be primarily a chicken and pig farmer for meat and eggs, but love the petting zoo idea
