coop size question........

Your totals are staying about the same over all - but with the turkeys being bigger in size you may find it a little more cramped. You could certainly try it out - sounds like a great mixed flock. If it seems like there is too much fighthing then you could separate out the turkeys and ducks from the chickens - but really if they all get along and there isn't a problem with too much moisture - I say keep them all together.

Yeah, I think with a roost redo we should be fine even with the turkeys. My roosts right now are not the best, but when we redo them they will be able to accomadate everyone. If its a problem, we have an extra shed that could be converted.

There you go - it's better not to break up the flock if you don't have to - less stress on them and less places to clean up for you

I'd like having one big flock, easier to maintain. Less fighting as well especially if you free range. If you have two separate ones, their pecking orders will clash.
