Big turkey small rooster trying to manage fighting.

This is my seventh year of raising chickens, second with turkeys. I have a female BBB who’s fighting with my tiny porcelain d’uccle rooster. They both take parts in starting fights. It’s usually the too who starts them though. I know what she can do to him, as she really messed him up in January. I’ve had to break up 3 fights just trying to right this. She’s a big bird, and quite ruthless. We have a BBW Tom who doesn’t attack but seems to be attempting to stop them. I can’t lose my roo to my turkey as he’s one of the last two that survived a bobcat attack out of 32 chickens, and he’s my only rooster. I know she will kill him eventually if they don’t stop.

Last 3 photos were when my BBB attacked the roo in January

The only solution will be separation.

You're going to have to keep one or preferably both confined. This will just keep happening until the rooster is killed otherwise

Ok, thank you so much, I’ll keep them both separated in their own pens
