Baby Turkeys! (PIC)

dangerouschicken, yes I am housing the chicks and turkeys together at the moment. They're all around a week old, so they're still very young. I did some research on blackhead before I got the turkeys, and many people recommended keeping poults with chicks in the beginning so they learn to eat/drink. As far as I've found, blackhead is not common where we live, and no one that I know with turkeys has ever had problems. I do intend to separate the turkeys from the chicks at about 2 weeks old, when they out grow the chicks. I don't want anyone to get trampled.

PearlD, your turkeys are adorable! Thanks for the pics, I've never seen the BB Bronze full sized. Your tom sure is a pretty boy

You're all so lucky. I want some, but my nieghbour lost 2 to a fox so I don't think it would be wise.
