Since our wind storm a week or so ago, our rather large flock of wild turkeys have changed the spot where they cross our yard. It's a flock of 20+ with about 4 HUGE toms.
They cross the yard right above the chicken coop, and lately, there's been a bit of intermingling going on. The turkey and chicken hens seem to have no troubles feeding together, and the toms and our roo, Morgan, just kind of keep a close eye on each other.
Do I need to worry about the chickens mingling with the wild Easterns? There seems to be no issues at all, no fighting, pecking, etc.....
But you know....us chicken people worry about these things.
Thanks-
