Introducing Adult Male Turkeys to Adult Female Turkeys

[denahz]

I have 2 adult female turkeys that are beloved pets, and I would like to adopt 2 adult male turkeys that are pets to another family. Is this safe for the female turkeys??. I need to know before i make a decision to bring them to my place. Will they get along??

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I would only get one male to go with your 2 hens.

Hello and welcome to BYC!

I don't keep Turkeys so I can't answer your question. Definitely follow the link to our Turkeys forum and start a thread there, @N F C has left you with the link above.

Best wishes with your Turkeys!

Welcome to BackYard Chickens, And a Big Hello from Eastern Nebraska! I agree with DobieLover, 2 Hen's 1 Tom, Unless you have 2 Enclosure's then you could have 2 Pair's. Otherwise the two Tom's will Fight over the Hen's. The Best of Luck with your Turkeys.

Hiya, and welcome to BYC! I agree I believe you'd only want one Tom, at least that's what my neighbor farmer does with hers. I only know I get one of her hens and a wild hen in my yard, so maybe this world needs more Toms?
