Chickens turkeys and ducks

[Nurse2010]

Starting new here. Can we put 1 duck, 1 male & 1 female turkey In the same pen with approx 50 chicks.

No, that would be highly cruel to the duck and incredibly dangerous for the baby chicks. Ducks are very social animals so get another one, and adult turkeys will kill the chicks.

It is possible for turkeys to contract a lethal disease called Blackhead from chickens, but I would still try adult chickens and turkeys together.

When the chickens are grown up you could add the other species, but watch for fighting.

The best way to integrate different species is to raise them together from babies.

I hope that helps, but I have one question; why do you have fifty chicks?

The chicks were .75 a piece when we bought them from Tractor Supply so we just bought several lol. We want to raise them and use them for eggs and put some in the freezer and sale some. I'm also gonna hatch some eggs later. Also with the turkeys I want to get young ones to put in with chicks as the chicks get a few weeks older and raise them together.

Sounds good!
