New to Turkeys

[meeko626]

Recently we purchased 6 egg laying chickens to lay our eggs. Our coop is 7x3.5x7 feet tall, and their run is about 100 square feet. Would this be big enough to throw in one or two turkeys to raise for meat? Also how does integration go with introducing one or two turkeys to the hens? Or is this all just a bad idea? I've read up a lot on blackhead and we don't have it in our area.

I would not consider 10 x 10 enough for two meat turkeys (broad breasted), even without chickens. And a mature meat turkey would have a hard time maneuvering in such a small coop. For two heritage turkeys, if you set up an outdoor sheltered roost, they would probably be more comfortable than indoors.
