Turkeys are resourceful and good flyers...meaning, I've never seen a chicken get 30 feet up in a tree - seen turkeys do it tho. My vote is for turkeys.

If the turkeys are a heritage breed there is no contest at all. The turkeys have superior flight characteristics to chickens.

wild turkeys, that's why noone can get them around here during hunting season

Ha! I love the jokes! My grandmother kept (yes, they're all gone) chickens. She had turkeys for a long time, and guineas. Guineas are dumb but seem to outlive the chickens. I guess it depends on where you live. At my house the turkeys are too big for most of the predators. But at my grandmother's, the chickens are too small for the predators...

Here is DH and I from our fall wild turkey hunt last week. Human predators are their worst enemy. Please don't laugh at my hair..it is usually not this crazy.

they are nice!! The turkeys are all around here , even on our yard, but as soon as it's hunting time, they seem to disappear, though you can still hear them in the woods. The hunters don't have much luck when they hunt on our property, unless it's for deer. You lucked out, good job!!
