    turkeys and hens.

    I plan on keeping my turkeys with chickens....is this a big problem? As I realise the turkeys may develop blackhead...the hens are regularly wormed and their pens clean and they have a very large outdoor area to roam...will this be enough or can I take other precautionary measures?
