I am getting an incubator soon and I have decided I want to get guineas and a few turkeys, maybe 3 or 4 at the most. I have seen pictures of some really pretty turkeys, gigantic things with pretty feathers. I was thinking of 1 tom and 2 hens, maybe 3. Are male turkeys as threatening as roosters? I would love to have some big ornamental turkey walking around my property with a few girls. I have heard geese can be pests, aggressive and mean sometimes, and I don't really want to deal with anything like that. How much room is needed to house a turkey? they free range well? Are they worth it?
I have chickens, they were all hatched out as day old when I got them. I have no neighbors with chickens and live out in the woods. How serious of a risk is blackhead? I don't know much about it but what is the likelihood my chickens have it and will transmit it to the turkeys? The chickens have never left my property, so they seem fairly well contained from diseases.
