You can but the turkeys will need a lot more room than the chicks need and they also still need a high protein turkey or game bird starter. They should have the high protein starter for their first 6 to 8 weeks followed by a turkey grower for the next 6 weeks before going on adult feed.

I do it, or did do it a lot, but I feed the chicks game bird feed, which is a waste of protein, but the turkeys need it.
