Baby turkey and chicks

A week ago had a baby turkey hatch it was unexpected I didn’t know the egg was as far long in development as it was it was supposed to hatch along with a duck egg that still has a week to go. But I have a chicken egg due to hatch in two days. My question is can I add the chick to the brooder with the Turkey chick or should I keep them separate.? Picture is my littlest with Ted 😍
I start all of my turkey poults and peachicks with chicken chicks, they do seem to teach them how to eat and drink. But as @R2elk said, you should try to find another poult.

I have 6 bronze turkeys that are 100% pets and are 100% imprinted on me. They are almost 5 months old. They live with chickens and ducks sents they where 6 weeks old.
It will be interesting to see how they behave once they reach sexual maturity. I no longer let any fowl imprint on me because of how they behave once they reach breeding age.

Let me know this time next year.
That's along time to be part of BYC. There is a guy on YouTube that talks about Heritage Bronze turkeys and its great how he explains how close he is to them. That he refers to his turkeys being just a good as a cat or a dog as a companion. He has other breeds too and even has done some mix breeding that turned out some beautiful turkeys.
