Neutering a turkey

[Otis-Gussy]

Well I'm convinced my turkey I've posted about a few times ( being confused about the sex ) is actually male.
I'm sure no one has ever asked this question. Haha.. but if I were to have him neutered, could he live with my other male and female peacefully?

That will depend on how the other tom reacts to him. He will not be the aggressor. Personally I am not aware of anyone that makes turkeys into the equivalent of capons. Removing his testicles will make him have a tendency to become overweight just like it does for roosters that are turned into capons.
