We have been hatching chicken turkeys and ducks for 2 months and putting them all in the more secure brooder stall in the barn. Sure enough... When we reached a certain population size rhe young turkeys get trampled by the other birds. We found one tonight that had trouble walking. While he goes in the hospital it is now time to move all of the largest birds to the coop to reduce the population.
This has been consistent that at a certain number of birds.. Bad things happen. Each brooder has a max number that it can safely hold. The barn brooder limit seems to be arond 100.
