How many will fit

[Viksceeks]

I have a converted 6x10 dog kennel into a coop (just coop, not run)
How many medium- small(silkie mix) and 1 Turkey tom will fit?

I currently have 20 chickens (9 are chicks/smaller breeds so far)
1 Turkey tom
3 ducks

The ducks are housed separately at nightfor now but idk how well I'll be able to winterize the current coop

Chicks are all separated now as well

Do you also have a run?
If not....
6 chickens.
I'd not keep a turkey or ducks with chickens.

Yes the run is 30x50, they get locked up every night
The duck house isn't tall enough for the Turkey

Ah......well, then all your chickens should fit, maybe the turkey unless he gets aggressive.

I wouldn't keep the turkey with such small birds

He might be Thanksgiving dinner. So far he just keeps my roos in line. I have 1 too many that will go very soon. He was also raised with chicks and becomes anxious when he's not around them
I let him in my main yard by himself and he was fighting to get back in...
I've never seen him do a dance for hens, just gets pissy when the roos both go after one hen. Never tried to mate a hen either...
As for accidently jumping on on...he hasn't done it but I could see it
