Sounds like everything should be good looks like you have it under control. Only thing left is to enjoy your turkeys. If you never had them before you will enjoy them they are unlike other birds they each have there own personalities. Good luck.

Turkeys are the best! If your other birds are from big hatcheries be careful exposing them and the areas they are to your young turkey poults. They are far more delicate than chickens I’ve found and can really be effected poorly by diseases that are often more benign in chickens. I’ve managed to have a happy healthy mixed flock in the beginning when it was small, as long as I didn’t introduce new chickens from big hatcheries - now that I have introduced new outside chickens to the flock and baby turkeys have arrived too, I don’t want to take any chances and keeping chickens and poults totally separate until they are mature.
