Hello there and welcome to BYC! :frow

Turkeys definitely need to be kept separate from chickens for health reasons, feed differences and housing needs. Here is a link to our Turkeys forums for more help...

Hello everyone! My husband and I recently bought 6 baby chickens, two baby turkeys, and 1 year old rooster. Nothing like getting your feet wet by getting a little of everything. We have just about finished our chicken coop while the babies are sitting under a heat lamp in the garage. I was wanting to also get a couple of ducks but I am curious if all three of these types of birds can live together in one coop? (the rooster is obviously not able to be around the babies). I’ve read a couple of articles and one person said they are fine to live together and another said the complete opposite. I’d like some insight so we can make some adjustments to our fowl structure, if needed. Thank you, all!

You will also find that Chickens are sleepers at night where ducks tend to just take little naps like cats. Loud ducks can lead to unrested chickens which can be stressful to them. Certainly it will tick off the Rooster who will crow and crow and crow his disapproval. Then again some people will disagree with me
