Last year I raised 6, a mix of hens and gobblers in a tractor. Worked out fine. This I raised 9 in a tractor, all gobblers, and several had a broken wing when I processed. Guess I need more than 1 tractor for them. I'm not set up to let the free range during the day, so that's not an option...

Just an idea for you, I built a run very similar to this but used 2"x6"'s with 2"x4"s between the joist creating a grid roughly 4' square. Over the top I put 2x4 welded wire fencing and then covered that with a tarp. It kept most of the rain out of the run, provided shade and didn't cost very much.
