Sorry double post. Can turkeys and chicken hang out together

Quote: Most turkeys in supermarkets are of the double breasted variety and cannot breed naturally due to their immense size. That being said; They won't get as big as some of the supermarket ones but, I think they taste the same if not a little better. I just like the home grown version because I know how it was raised and the food it's been raised on.

Quote: Turkeys can get blackhead disease from being housed in close quarters with chickens. My birds are never locked up but rather hang out together and roost in the same coop ( two of them anyway) Most of my turkeys are in their own run and coop. I never overcrowd my birds, it's just asking for disaster. To answer your question the official answer is no but I have been raising both together for years and they are happy healthy birds.
