My wife tells me that we got a call from a local park today offering us a "tame" wild turkey hen, who is lonely. They know I have a few chickens and thought she might like to live with them. I'd have to clip her wings as our run isn't covered, but I don't know if they would co-exist....Any thoughts?
We did have a flock of wild turkeys that hung around our yard for a few weeks last fall, but my wife wouldn't let me harvest any.

People do put turkeys with chickens.....I do not. Turkeys and chickens carry different diseases in their poo that is why I don't and I don't want my tom pouncing on my little hens.

I cannot speak about the wildness being of any issues.

You should probably start an new thread for any of your questions.

Op you can look at the auctions on byc there is a link at the bottom of the other topic threads for stuff for sale and some free.

Good luck!
