Turkeys and chickens together

[ghunt507]

I also have had no problem. I do suggest being careful when adding a bird to the flock.
We have a BROAD bREASTED Tom who doesnt know his own strength. When I have added a bird or two
I'll do it when they have plenty of space.

If you get a broad breasted bird, I'd get it 1st of august unless you want to freeze it for 5 months or want a 55lb dressed bird in your oven.
