I agree in the sense that yes turkeys are social and I always recommend keeping more than one, but right now I have one full grown male and a few grown female along with tons of youngins and he's never ever tried to mate anything but the female turkeys, now sometimes he'll thrust the air now and...
I doubt it. If the talons are long enough one would just get tore up. A Tom don't play games, they typically don't have any fear. They'll fight to the death.
Can you show the snoods more? It's possible in the bottom picture the one in the back could be a male. Sometimes you can tell if the head is broader and the snood sticks out more.
As long as they're around the same age and the brooder isn't over crowded you'll be fine. When I hatch mine I raise them all together whether it be guineas, ducks, turkeys, geese, or chickens and they all get along pretty good.
It's normal for tail feathers to come out here and there, they'll regrow back but in the mean time I suggest I think it's called show bird feed or something, sometimes you can find feed for healthy feather growing at the tractor supply etc.
Don't chase or hit him, just use something to create a gap. Don't wear red or blue. Never turn your back on the tom. Don't fear just continue doing what ya gotta do.
First, you need to do plenty of research on each species, don't ever buy on a whim due to boredom, these are real living creatures that truly rely on full hands on care.
Second, be prepared to devote some time and money.
Third, If you're looking for something to cuddle get a dog, most of...
Let it be free, just drop it crumbs, or catch and release elsewhere but I advise against taking it in... Rats can carry many diseases, animals are really good at hiding illnesses. Besides the rat is used to freedom, I know If I was a wild rat I wouldn't want to be caged up.
