New to turkeys and bow have 2 babies! ?! Help!!

[Kyfila]

Hey All I'm Kim In Ky. I have lots of chickens and guineas but I never had turkeys before. I got 2 broonze wing turkey babies up at Lucasville last weekend

and they seem to be fine they are in with my guinea and silkies in the brooder. They are eating a mix of chick starter and game bird starter what do they need to be eating?

Also how hard are they to keep in? Will they be real flighty? Do they want to roost in trees? like the peacocks? Should I clip their wings? Will they get along with the silkies

and guineas when they get big? Boy I have a lot of questions!

Any and all help is so deeply appreciated!

Thanks!
Kim in Ky

They will be fine eating that mix. Raised with those other birds, they should get alonge. My turkeys don't bother the guineas or chickens but mine did kill my 3 black cayuga ducks. They were all free range togather. I wouldn't clip their wings because they would have no other defence from predators. If they are standard bronze then you will have a great pet for many years. If they are broad breasted bronze then you will have a great meal in the next 4-6 months.
