need help with coop plans for turkeys

[Micky D]

I am making plans for a poultry barn but can't find anything on spacing for the roosts or floor space or nesting boxes for the turkeys. Hopping to get a mix of palm turkeys if not I will most likely get mix of different turkey breeds, but all I seem to be able to find is breed history or behavior which is nice but not very helpful with this. I have raised turkeys for my mother in law but that is as far as experience goes for me and she keeps her turkeys penned up I am going to free range mine. Any help would be appreciated.

mine like a 2x6 roost, when they aren't on top of the coop.. 18" to 2ft from the wall
10 sq ft of floor per bird MINIMUM ..50 would be better
old igloo dog house or under a piece of plywood leaning up against the wall for a nest

Here is what I did with an existing sheet metal lean-to on my garage. I turned it into a turkey house with roosts, I built the door and the opening in, wired in the rafters (no raccoons) and the large box I may enclose for a nesting box. (I got that off Craigslist).
