Can I give a baby turkey to my broody hen? Can they live together? How much space do they need?

Can I get a 4 day old turkey poult to my broody hen? If so how much space will they turkey need? And I can feed them the same food right?

10 sqft In coop, 100 sqft In run per adult turkey.
Poult needs turkey or gamebird starter, broody can eat that too.
Turkey may think it's a chicken and if it's a tom, may squash chickens trying to breed

Ok thanks! I have game bird started already because I mix it with layer feed for my sebrights that need high protein.

Can kill them. Just be aware. Many say do not mix different ages.

I have no plans for a Turkey now. I have 3 chicks that she hatched!
