Wow, how many do you have now? That sounds like a dramatic drop.
I have 25 turkeys. I might lose 2 tonight s they are stupid and I did not get home until after dark. They were roosting on the fence and not in the coop. I thought I would pick them up and put them in the coop. The flew into the woods then took off running into the deeper woods.
I am reducing my birds in general. I want larger breeding pens and to concentrate on certain breeds (yet to ne determined) that do well in the cold and that I have good show stock or can make show stock from.
I want to be able to leave here for a few days at a time and not have to worry too much about them. If I have larger pens with less birds in the pens I could do that. I also have gotten to like working with the best birds and keeping them in the barn living the posh life for now. I need pens to get them outside but not free range where they can get picked off. Cuddles needs to be protected!
