Hello,

I need to order some "colorful" Turkeys for a farm where I sell my chicken eggs. My question is:

Can three males all live together or will they fight? I was thinging of getting him a Bourbon Red, a Narragansett and a Royal Palm

If you buy all three as day-olds and keep them together, they'd be fine. I raised 5 together, and they never fought as far as I know. The older they are when you put them together, the more chance they'll fight, but I still have a friend that has put several together when they were full grown, and although they constantly display and strut around each other, they never seem to fight. In that case you'd have to watch them reallll close.

I have Narragansetts and I absolutely love them, I think they are by far the most attractive, but I like the Bourbon Reds too. Wouldn't mind having a few down the road.
 
I have a small group of Eastern Wilds that have all been raised together from chicks. Two toms and two hens all live together in perfect harmony.
 
I have 2 Bourbon Red toms and 2 Narragansett toms. They have at least six girls but the toms spend most of their days puffed up and staring at each other. They were raised together, and rarely do they really start fighting. They're just highly volative, as shown by their easily-provoked gobbling.
