Can you have 2 full size BB tom turkeys in the same pen with hen turkeys?

You can but what is the point? If the toms are pretty equal they may spend most of their time fighting each other but being broad breasted they could also be pretty mellow about the situation. Also being broad breasted they probably won't be very successful in any breeding attempts and could end up injuring the hens.

Ok so I have 3 Red Bourbons. Two boys and a girl. They are about 6 months?
The boys seemed to have starting fighting. Is this normal? Do i need to sell one of the boys?

It is normal and yes the best thing to do is eliminate one of the toms. Selling is one way to eliminate an extra tom.
