I absolutely adore Naked Neck Turkens and have recently gotten two to integrate into my existing flock of six. The problem I have run into is that the six (2 Banrred Rocks, 2 Wyandottes, 2 Sexlinks) will not leave the Turkens alone.
I have tried waiting until dark and slipping them in on the roost, I've tried keeping them in an enclosed pin in the other chicken's run during the day, but nothing seems to work. It's been over a week and the Turkens are no closer to being "one of the flock" than they were on day one.
Does anyone with Turkens have any suggestions? I think I may have to keep them separate since the others seek out their lack of feathers and attack. If you have Turkens, do you have other breeds in the same coop or do you keep them separate?
