Hello! This is my first year having a mixed flock so just looking for tips and tricks and experiences of anyone who may have raised all these animals together before
I have 13 grown chickens
17 chicks
6 runner ducklings
3 sebastapol goslings
2 turkey baby’s (poults ?)
Some more info about my coop set up:
Coop space will be about 100 sf ,
With three 10 foot roosting bars
run is 500sf but I do plan to free range them most days which I know would help with any potential tensions or fights as each animal will have ample space to roam
I have an automatic chicken door (will geese and turkey fit?)
In regards to feed is it better to have separate areas for them in the run with feeders or feed an all flock feed?
I also heard the ducks and turkey may not want to go into the coop at night should I set up mini coops for them outdoors? Or some sort of tall branches inside the run?
