I am thinking of buying a few turkeys nothing special just the plain white ones but I already have guinea fowls and 7 ducks would a few turkeys get on ok with my current lot? |

We have turkeys, guinea fowls and chooks, they all get on fairly well most of the time. Our guinea fowl free range, while most of the others are penned, except for late afternoon. If there are fights it is normally with their own kind. |

Doffler just watch out for disease as turkeys are renowned for carrying all sorts of things. I had them years ago and they passed on something that killed all my chooks and ducks |

Oh well I may have to re think the turkey idea then. If they were kept in a coop by themselves would that be better? |

I have bronze and several dozen guinea fowls and they all get on so well even when the guinea fowls get a little bossy the tom just gives them that look and the guinea are off |
