It doesn't work that way.

Adult numbers from age 3 months up are a minmum of 10 sq. ft. per turkey for coop space plus at least 4 times that for run space.

The turkeys just need space to sleep. Would be just fine.

Oh I'm sorry I see.
Ya it's the #1 killer of turkeys when they are with infected chickens. From what I know about the disease it is fatal to turkeys they can't recover.
