Hi, I'm another one that's never raised turkeys but you can find a lot of other members that have them here: Turkeys

Chickens can have "pinless peepers," attached to their beak - that will lessen or eliminate feather plucking another bird. I don't know if it's possible to attach them to a turkey's beak.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I've never owned a turkey so I am not familiar with their behaviors. Have you posted to the Turkeys forum?

Still new here. I will! Right now I separated them and put them back together and they did fine when I put them back together. So I think maybe I have mostly males. I have more ducks and chickens.

Hello, and welcome to BYC. Separation or Pin Less Peepers may be necessary.

 

[Teramarieg79]

Yup I separated them. And took the aggressive one out and put them all back but that one. Now I'm gonna wait a while and put he/she back. So ranking order may change. Hopefully that will help never had this problem and we get turkeys every year.
