I have four royal palms who are pets only and I love them. My question is what do you do with numerous toms? I have two toms and two hens as it turns out. I don't have space for more than four and I have read the toms will fight over the hens. I'm so attached to them at this point (they are around 3 months) I can't imagine giving one up. Have you encountered this at all?

I have two toms actually. But one of them is over a year old and he is in his own separate pen. I had him first on his own. And then these two my blacks my hen and tom are together in a pen.

Here are my pets. I have 8 altogether including some poults that range from 6 to 10 weeks old. They are great. Each one seems to have its own personality.

Do you let your turkeys free range during the day?
Do you have to worry about any predators?

I let my turkeys free range while I'm out to watch them, they are never out if I can't super vise. We have lost chickens free ranging so I wouldn't trust it with my turkeys. But they get a couple hours out every day

That's a bummer. I was hoping somehow they magically weren't as threatened as the smaller birds would be.

I don't think they are, but that chance just keeps me being cautious ya know
