3 Aggressive Toms

Hello, we have three turkey toms. 2 of the three are rather aggressive, especially around food. I was wondering if getting hens would solve our problem, or just make it worse.

I say tounge in cheek, would hanging an axe on the fence help?

Unless they are separated the fighting will get worse with the addition of any hens I keep one for every four hens, once they brood I move the hens to their own raising pens as the TOM are hard on the hens with babies my suggestion get rid of two toms yummy and get a few hens for the the remaining TOM what kind of turkeys are you raising?

I second Timothy's post.  All  males (post maturity at least) is a recipe for fighting.  Add hens to the mix and it will only get worse as they'll fight over who gets to mate her, not just over food.  

If they aren't big enough to slaughter yet (or you just don't want to, yet) I'd start out by making their feed setup so one tom can't dominate.  Either have multiple feeding areas spread far enough apart that the toms lower on the totem pole get their share, or design a single feeding area so the dominant tom can't stop the others from eating while also getting his own fill.  I use a plastic garbage can with 4" PVC elbows inserted in holes around the bottom.  If there's enough openings to get the feed the toms lower in the order can still get to it.

If you get hens, get enough for each tom you keep.  I'm not sure what the max number is for turkeys.  Chickens I know they say 1 rooster per 8-10 hens.  I probably wouldn't go below 4 hens per tom if you retain multiple toms.  If you only retain 1 tom then 1-2 hens would be fine.

If you decide to slaughter they process just like a chicken, only larger.  I will say though that when you break the neck after the bleeding from the neck cut starts to slow they will go rodeo.  Scalding is the same.  150F water, and dunk until the tail feathers start to come out easy, then pull from the water and pluck.  Gutting is also identical to chickens, but with more room for your hand.
