Are these birds being kept for breeding, pets, or meat birds? Everyone here is willing to help but need a little more information. You should also go to the articles section at top at page, and go to coops. Small, medium, large, and tractors. Let us know which way you want to go and we will help where we can.

I need to focus as I saw your title says " meat turkeys".

I would think that either a hooped coop style or an A-Frame style would work on skids.

You do want to make sure that the roosts are far enough away from the walls that they will fit on the roosts as they mature to processing size.

Here is another thread on turkey coop/tractor - https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/raising-turkeys-in-tractor-question.1299498/#post-21158158

google images cranks out a lot of pics of turkey tractors - https://www.google.com/search?q=tur...gBRUQ_AUoAXoECA0QAw&biw=1252&bih=562&dpr=1.09

Justin Rhodes' uses an a-frame style tractor and poultry netting. LOTS of YouTube videos from him/his family & a family website and a membership/training website called Abundant Permaculture. https://www.google.com/search?q=jus...A0&ei=kmU_Xr_PLdGrzALBxbbIAg&bih=562&biw=1252
