How much room?

[Crayon Rock]

I am about to become the proud owner of a trio of penciled calico turkeys. Realistically, how much room do they need when they are not free ranging? I can only free range on the days I don't work.

We've raised day old poults before, but we always sell them. This will be our first grown birds.

I wouldnt free range 3 turkeys if you want all three come fall. I tried that on my first turkey run years ago, 3 became 0 within a month or two. I have a small breeding pen for 3 turkeys, its about 15 x 20 run with a 4 x 6 nesting stall.

Just took a picture for some else and snapped this real quick to illustrate what I meant.
