As per my previous thread, I'm getting my turkey tom a new mate. But it's a surprisingly hard thing to do, since a LOT of farms in my area stopped raising them due to covid.
Recently I've found someone who's willing to part with a hen, but it's a 3-4 year old.

- Can a hen of such an advanced age even be moved to a new location and new flock, without it freaking out or becoming depressed?
- I know their lifespan is between 5-10 years, so what are the odds that it doesn't die next year? He's already lost a mate, I don't want to string him along.
- Would it even be suitable for my 1 year old tom?
