25 meat turkeys (maybe 1 a fornight from these if you are lucky)
30 meat hens (same as meat turkeys)
60 broiler hens (45-50 eggs a day from them total)

the broiler hens are isa browns and the meat hens are australorp, dunno what the turkey breeds are

the egg production drops to a third or quarter over winter for both the turkeys and chooks

Wow, that's a whole farm right there Garret.

How much space do you have around you ?
