Anyone raising chickens/turkeys etc?

[xxclaro]

Ever since we bought this place a couple years ago I've wanted to get a few animals. I've got an old barn still in decent shape,and a pasture of about 4 acres thats fenced with some cross fencing. The barn has 6 stalls inside, with power and water.

I've found a supplier for the black eastern "wild" turkeys, would like to get 10-12 of those. They should be here beginning of May, and would be butchered in the fall. I would also like a few laying hens, maybe 5-6, which I might keep through winter, not sure yet.

On top of that I am thinking of getting a half dozen weaner pigs,which would also be butchered in the fall. The pigs I'm not too worried about, I think once they are a few months old they will be fairly safe where I am. I have about a half acre that is fenced and will add an electric fence to keep them from digging under, and I plan to let them root around in that area.

The fowl I'm a bit concerned about. I'd like to let them out into the rest of the pasture, but don't know if they would be safe from hawks,foxes and coyotes. For the half dozen chickens it wouldn't take a big coop for them to be comfortable, but the turkeys would need some more space. I've thought about building a portable rolling enclosure that I could move with the quad. Either that, or I would have to leave them cooped during the day, let them out when I get home from work and then get them back inside before nightfall. Is anyone doing this type of thing,and if so how do you keep them safe while still allowing them to have some foraging and scratching space?
