i am building a new coop. i have 2 roos, 6 hens, 9 ducks and a turkey. i have a section in the coop for chickens, ducks, and my turkey. i am getting more hens soon, but my curent hens are suffering from bare back. i would like to separate my roosters from the hens but the only resonable place to put them is with the turkey. if i do that though, then the turkey will have to suffer with them. also, does taking away the hens increase the chance of fighting or decrease it? if all it will do is make them want to fight then i would probably keep them with the hens and just get more so that the ratio of hens to roos is higher. in summary, should i put my roos with the turkey, or keep them with the hens and just get more hens?
Sorry I cant answer your question bc I kinda have the same problem. I hope Someone can tell us if roos can live together with no hens?
you never put chickens and turkeys together unless you want to lose your turkeys to blackhead disease
