I wanted to check with everyone here to make sure I will have enough space for everyone. If its not I may get rid of my turkeys...

I currently have:
15 chickens and 9 chicks (only keeping the hens and maybe 1 roo)
2 Bronze turkeys

Not a crazy number but currently they free range on roughly a 2 acre pasture and they are going to have to be penned up while our landlord comes back from Arizona. We moved to this place back in Nov. and while they have a coop already on the prop. we realized because of landlord restrictions and a drain field our run is going to be 40ft shorter then first thought.

It looks like the run is going to be 67' x 15' Originally was to be ~100' x 15'.

Our coop which is sitting in the middle of the run to be is 18' x 7' and only the chickens can fit under the coop. They like to hang out under it during the rain.

How does this sound size wise for the number I have?
 
Coop and run are plenty big enough for the chickens but I haven't raised tukeys. Generally people recomend 4 sq ft per chicken in the coop and 10 sq ft in the run. You are well over that so I would think it should suffice for all. Of course the more the better.
