Turkey Housing

[abarfield87]

I'm considering building a run in shed to house my turkeys. Would this be sufficient housing for them? I currently have them in the same coop and run with chickens, but want to separate them. Any pics or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! I live in eastern NC, so winters aren't too harsh.

My turkey Tom sit outside all winter here in Minnesota. I have a covered run I make them go into. They grumble and complain but do go into it most nights.

I free range them all day long, with the exception of during breeding season.

Have you ever had any issues with frostbite?

Not with turkeys.

Just in case you think I live in a warmer area, it is 5 degrees F. right now. (-15C)

That is too cold!!! However, it does make me feel like they will be ok in a simple run in shed. Thank you so much for your reply!
