turkey housing

So last year we raised four turkeys, and now everyone and they're friend wants us to raise one for them. I figure I can handle the work and the pay will help with books this fall, so why not? So we ordered fifty turkey chicks, with six going to friends, leaving forty-four for us to raise. Now I'm starting to realize that that's a lot of turkeys! My housing plan (so far) is to build a 16'x 8' shelter and divide it into four rooms (for lack of a better word), about four feet high. Each 'room' will open to a separate pen. I have decided on the size of the pens though. Having a hard time visualizing, but thinking 30'x 30' each with 8' fencing. I have some temporary fencing I could put out for them to get extra grazing during the day.

Any comments/suggestions?

Thanks,

Allison
