    Birds Killing Each Other

    Here's the pen and some of the birds. My idea was to raise them all together so they would get along. I heard guineas don't get along with chickens, but so far mine have gotten along well with the pullets. Unfortunately, I don't have the room to separate the turkeys out. I can let the hens out...

Could it be feed related or maybe if they got hungry they started eating each other? Yeah, free feeding might be possible, but they get higher protein than our 3 laying hens...

    They have way more space than they can use and plenty of lush green pasture to eat to their hearts' content. They were confined to a small space before I moved them out of the barn and they got along very well in there. I don't have more runs to separate them into.

    Birds Killing Each Other

    I have eight heritage turkey poults, six guinea keets, eight Leghorn pullets, and one Australorp cockerel that I moved out of the confined barn coop two days ago. They are between 1 1/2 - 2 months of age and are all pretty close to the same size. They have all gotten along quite well since they...
