hatching turkeys and chickens together

[mjclark1]

Hi,(newbie here

I usually hatch eggs in the classroom. This year I'll be adding a turkey egg.
If the turkey egg hatches with the others, do they get along?
Also, are turkeys as friendly as chickens? speaking of hens vs Toms(roosters). I've had some really dangerous roos in the past.

I do know that turkey eggs take like 8 more days to hatch.

Thanks for the info and advice.

No issues between chicks and poults. Turkeys have more personality than chickens. You should be fine. Try to have your chick hatch a day ahead of the turkey.

No issue. Your turkey may need some electrolytes or sugar water to get them jump-started. Mine always seem more fragile than chicken chicks.
