The only thing I know about turkeys is that you shouldn't keep them with or near chickens because they are susceptible to some disease - sorry but I can't remember any more than that! Perhaps some Google research?

Urmm Turkeys.

Black Head, thats the condition you mean I think, I read about it some where. Have to admit I don't like Turkeys, but then I didn't like geese and we have a goose now.

Seem to remeber Turkeys only have a short laying period, but could be wrong.

Heres some interesting Turkey facts http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/turkey/facts.html
