What kind of turkeys do you have?
Unfortunately I do not understand turkey breeds at all. I only know that this is a light breed (males grow up to 7-8 kg, and adult females weigh about 4 kg). When a very long time ago I had such. but I had to eat them because I didn't have a good barn and they attacked my ducks very оften (I had two large turkeys, 3 turkeys and about 300 ducks. I don`t know what was the problem there, but my adult big turkeys seriouly disliked mu ducks). Now the ducks live in a separate barn and they have their own fenced-off area. Geese have their own barn and fenced-off area. And now I gave one of the rooms of the turkey barn. Now they are young and live with guinea fowls. If they will have conflicts in the future, then I will move the guinea fowl to another barn.
I bought turkey poults in completely different places, not on the farm, but from amateur breeders. I bought 3 turkey poults from someone, and one from someone, and some turkeys from someone )) One woman who sold me turkey poults (I also bought 18 grown goslings and 5 ducklings from her), by mistake, together with the turkeys, put an adult quail in my box. We caught goslings for a long time and put them in boxes, so we got tired and confused a turkey with a quail.
When the turkey poults became much larger than the quail, I had to move out, now he lives with me with young chickens, because I have no other quails yet.
Here are that young turkeys (I’m already confused and don’t remember, it seems in the photo I see another chicken and there is also this quail, and guinea fowls too).
This photo was taken later, when they were a little older.
As I was promised, turkeys - both white and brown - are light breeds, the male grows to 7-8 kg. They will live in this room and go outside through the door. Once upon a time, goats lived here, but there were a lot of them, the room became too cramped and the goats moved to another, which is much larger. Since goats live in the next room (there is a door), it is quite warm here in winter (we have relatively cold winters).
I have not made nests for laying eggs here yet, because the bird is still young. If they lay eggs, I will use them for incubation - turkeys hatch chicks well, or as a last resort I have several incubators, although usually incubators are filled with chicken eggs, because Leghorns do not hatch eggs. In ducks and geese, when something is wrong - sometimes I put eggs in an incubator, sometimes a goose or duck sits on the nest and incubates them.
