Keeping turkeys through winter in New England

[ChickenFarmerIStillLoveU]

We just picked up our 6 turkeys this past week. Our original plan was to harvest all 6 birds in late fall, but now...I'm thinking I might like to keep a pair over the winter so we have our own eggs next spring.
Can anyone provide some basics on what they need to survive New England winters?
We've had chickens for a while, and they've done fine in their coop over the winter....but I'm really at a loss as to what the turkeys need.
We have Narragansetts if that matters
Thanks in advance!

Basically the same needs as your chickens. I keep turkeys year round in up state NY were its snowing today without any problems. Food 24/7 a dry coop with windows and access to outddors. fresh water 2 times a day.

The main problem I have always heard from up north was keeping the water ice free. Which is why I moved south years ago. Around here temps in the teens make front page news.
