Breed please

Thanks so much. I'm brand new to raising chickens...ducks, guineas, and a turkey too. Lol. In fact, this guy and my turkey tussle today. They're both about 16-17 weeks old. Will they outgrow this or should I be concerned? I also have a sapphire gem rooster the same age. I hope I don't have to get rid of any of them. They were all raised together.
A lot depends on your setup. How big is the coop/run? Do they free range? How many hens do the roosters have? I'd be concerned about the rooster and turkey fighting because as the turkey gets bigger, it will definitely be able to kill your rooster if it wants to.
PS-Others on here should be able to help you better on specific ways to manage your fowl in regards to everyone getting along and such. :)

Thank you. They all free range all day and get put up at night. 6 hens with 8 more in the brooder.
