first time raising baby turkeys


If I put a few hen chicks with my baby turkey can the chicks eat the turkey starter medicated food or will they die? I already lost one day old turkey and the other was so lonely I put a few baby hen chicks with it, but not sure if the turkey starter is good for the chicks... please help.
thank you
 
Actually, it's a good thing you put the chicks in with the turkey poult. It will learn from the chicks where to eat/drink. Also, yes it is ok that the chicks eat turkey starter. Good luck with the babies and post pics when ya can!
 
Thank you very much for your advice/input, will post pics asap.
very much appreciated. I love this website, the members are such a great help. It does put us at ease (newbie mommies!!)
