I know you weren't talking to me, but just wanted to add that I had quartered both together before. It's better to have them separate, though.

This is my first time hatching turkeys. The reason that many advise not to keep turkeys and chickens together is due to Blackhead Disease. This is caused by a nasty parasite that if contracted, is 100% fatal to turkeys. There's no cure in the UK as what used to work on them was outlawed a few years ago. If you get blackhead in your turkey flock, the effects can be devastating. The parasite can live for up to four years in the eggs of the cecal worm. Therefore, blackhead is only an issue if a) you actually have the parasite locally (check with your local environmental health or equivalent), and b) your chickens aren't wormed regularly. If your chickens aren't wormed, then it's quite a risk. My chicken's don't freerange though, and I'm not planning on putting the turkeys with the chickens.
Stacks of people on this forum keep turkeys and chickens together without incident and in fact the woman that I purchased my turkeys from had her turkeys running with chickens. The risk isn't very high, it's just that it's so brutal if they do get it.
