Housing

I have my first young turkey. Right now it is living indoors in a rabbit hutch. When it gets moved outside, does it need a coup just like chickens. What kind of housing do turkeys need?

Yes, I know this, but there are also no chicken breeds in the sense of being able to do a DNA test like with dogs, yet we use the term with them all the time as well. Colloquially, there are different turkey breeds based on the common definition of "breed".

The APA recognizes many different chicken breeds. The APA only recognizes one breed of turkeys and the breed is Turkey. Turkeys are much more closely related than are chickens.
