I have a tom and 3 hens on eggs in a 120 square foot pen. The hens are doing well, quiet, attentive to their eggs. The Tom is guarding well and seems to be a little more active and guarding more. This is my first breeding season with these black Spanish Heritage turkeys.
I am planning on letting the hens raise their young naturally. Does the tom "Benson" need to be removed from the pen while this is going on?
Thank you.
