I have read that if you raise chickens you should not also have turkeys due to a disease called blackhead. Supposedly chickens are carriers of the disease and turkeys suffer from it.
I have heard people in other forums talk about raising both. Has anyone here done it? Have you had any problems with blackhead? The warnings I have read are holding me back from trying turkeys since I have chickens and let them free-range.
We would love to raise our own, rather than pay someone else to raise one in a less than humane way for us.
