My Beltsville small white turkeys are 4 months old my chickens are 6 weeks old, can I put them together? The plan was to keep them together, and let them free range in the day. I tried 3 days ago, but while the chicken was roosting on my finger. The turkeys got very scared, and ran to the corner of there run. Today I tried again, but let one loose. The turkeys werent as scared but were slowly walking up to him cautiously but were still about 1 foot away. I don't want to leave him alone, and find out something happens later on. Of course the beltsvilles aren't mature but 3 of them (the ones I think are males) have some size on them.

If now isn't a good age to mix them what age would be best?
