Once i upgrade the coops, i’m going to get more birds. Now just gotta decide which. So what do you think? Turkeys, ducks, pheasants, peacocks? And why do you think that?

How much space would peacocks need? Would Turkeys spread a disease to my chickens? I wouldn’t keep them together, just wondering if it’s dangerous to keep them nearby.Peacocks need a ton of space and are super loud, also like to wander off property; ducks need the least amount of space. Turkeys are cleaner than ducks. No idea about pheasants.
No turkeys won't spread anything to your chickens. I raise turkeys, & chickens together. If anything, it would probably be a respiratory illness if they don't come a hatchery, or Disease free flocks.How much space would peacocks need? Would Turkeys spread a disease to my chickens?

This is a post from someone experienced in peafowl. They like to roost pretty high up from what I know. I would check out the peafowl forums for more info.Plan on 150 sq ft per bird in your run, more if you can afford it. They tend to multiply so make the run as large as you can afford or plan to add on later. Blues need some shelter from the cold and wet wind and flat wood roosts to protect their toes. If they get too cold they will leave the roosts for the ground so make sure you have some bedding in the coop or risk frost bite.
The chickens would be more likely to give your turkeys a disease as chicken are carriers of some that doesn't harm them but would kill your turkeys.How much space would peacocks need?

Other way around.Turkeys can sometimes spread a particular disease to chickens, I think blackhead something rather, but its a lot rarer than you'd think.
