Buff Orpington and Turkeys

[alanalynn68]

We are new to this. We have 11 sweet buff orpingtons that are 6 weeks old and 2 turkeys that are 3 weeks old. Is it ok to let them live together? We have tried putting the turkeys with the chickens but a few of the girls aren't so sweet with the turkeys and peck at them, so we separated them. Is it a gradual thing or should they not live together? We also have 3 gunea fowl..can all of the birds live together or should they have separate spaces?

You can keep them together, but it is at risk of Blackhead.

Also Guineas and turkey's have different nutritional requirements, especially when they are poults/keets. So a higher protein feed for turkey's or Game Birds would be needed.

Thanks, I will do more research. My husband feeds them, I think they all eat something different. I haven't been around the guinea's much.
I appreciate the input.
