    Turkeys and chickens getting along????

    Turkeys and chickens getting along????

    Ok, so here's what I did. The 5 older hens were closed in the other coop. Rosie and Chuck were put in the hen's coop. Rosie flew over the 6 ft fence. Now they are locked in the coop. Someone is throwing themselves against the door. The poor older hens probably have never seen a rooster...

    Turkeys and chickens getting along????

    Has anyone ever had trouble having turkeys and chickens getting along? I have 13 chickens and 2 turkeys together. The coop is large enough for them all and they have 1/2 acre to graze in. I've been noticing blood spatters on the inside widow near the roosts and today I saw Rosie, the turkey...
