How do turkeys interact with other fowl?

We live in the PNW too. We have turkeys, chickens, and ducks...hanging out all together. Once in a while someone gets in someones business, but for the most part, everyone is well behaved. We don't have any Toms, but we have one Drake. He's the only one who seems to be the most problematic. The drake used to try and mount the turkeys when they were smaller than him, but of course, he can't now. Someone on here also warned me about the blackheads disease also, but we've not had any issues with it.
 
Everyone seems to be getting along famously! And isn't he handsome?! Odd thing is, the turkeys were all penned up pretty cozy where we purchased them, and they seem a little unadventurous. 5 acres to freerange on and this guy just struts around the pen all day .. ungrateful, but good-looking!
