This is an interesting topic of conversation. I have a 6'x10' hoop coop that I built and wanted to put some turkeys in it, as well. However, I intend on using a 164' poultry netting to give them some foraging area. I probably won't get to move it too much but, they'll have the space outside of the coop. Would that be enough for a full breeding set. Was thinking 3-4 hens and 1 tom. They'll have open availability of feed and water. I was going to pick up about 10 Naragansette Poults this spring. I would choose which group I'd like to keep for breeding and process the rest in late fall. That would make them about 7-8 months old when processed. At only 7-8 months of age, will the Naragansette birds wield enough meat to be worth it? Will the space I'm providing be enough for 5 or 6 birds?
