Can turkeys and chicken eggs be hatched and or brooded together?

i will put the chicken eggs in a week later. How about humidity? I have a Janoel 12. can they share a brooder? I’m worried only because the poults have to be taught to eat while the chicks just gobble it down!

The baby chickens will teach your turkeys everything they need to know. My breeder hatches her chicken and turkey eggs under the same condition. We live in the humid south so we dry hatch.

That’s great to know. I’ll put the chicken eggs in 7 days later!

Yes, you WANT to brood chicks along with turkeys if at all possible, so they can learn from them.
