I'm new to turkeys, and am planning on breeding a new color of turkey.( called the Whiskey Brown- bb ee rr) my coop has a divider in it one side chickens other side turkeys. I'm raising heritage turkeys. I'm feeding them plain layer, and let them out every day or other day, is there a certain feed mixture I should feed the turkeys? Grain/ layer mix? Where I live I have alkaline soil/ clay, should I grow them some forage? What do I feed them during the breeding season, do I need lights to bring them in to production? Will chickens give them diseases? I'm in dripping springs Texas. Do guineas and turkeys make good companions? Their coop bedding is sand, how do I clean it?(they've been in the coop for about two years, uh I need to clean it!)
