Keeping Baby turkey with guineas?

[portiaraylee]

I know baby turkeys cannot be kept with chicks because of the droppings, but I now have a ton of keets. Can I put my baby turkeys with them or should I keep them by themselves?

The first year I got my birds, I had turkeys, chickens and guineas all together. I raised them together, housed them together and ranged them together, until the guineas flew off and got eaten by owls. I live in Missouri and black head is rare around here. So I wouldn't have a problem raising them and keeping them together. Hope that helps you.
