I just bought a male and female both about a year old they don't seem to like the feed ( game bird feed from tractor supply) or they just don't eat much ... Also they won't purch at night I find them sleeping on the floor ? I have a chicken run that's about 25x50 foot and I sectioned off a 10x12 section for them cause the rooster was attacking the tom and loosing . How do I stop my rooster from attacking the turkeys . Today is day 3 of having them ... Any advice is much appreciated thanks !

The only way to assure that they do not fight is to separate them. Understand that the tom is fully capable of killing your rooster and also your chicken hens if he tries to mate them. Have you asked the previous owner what he fed them?
