Peafowl, turkeys & chickens together?

[Greygaga5]

We’ve inherited a peacock & peahen (no idea on age but hen did lay eggs over the summer & one of those hatched!), 8 five month old turkeys, and 10 five month old chickens. They are presently all housed separately but need moved. Can we put peafowl & turkeys together? And if so, should we put them all in new pen at same time or just peafowl or turkeys first and let them get used to new pen before combining them? Thanks for any info!

If there is sufficient room, peafowl and turkeys should be able to exist in the same pen. Both are large birds and require much more "personal space" than you can get by with for chickens. I recommend a see, no touch situation before introducing them to each other.

For the long term health of your chickens, I recommend that you keep them separate from the peafowl and the turkeys.

Thanks for the advice - that’s the way we’ll do it.
