Does anyone know if a turkey would get along with ducks?

Certainly! I have a neighbor that houses ducks, turkeys, and chickens together.

Ive heard turkeys can be more aggressive in general, is there any truth to that?

Yes, that is true. Are you planning to get poults?

I hatched 4 ducks and 1 turkey together. In the brooder, the ducks were mean to the turkey, (maybe 4 to 1 was better odds for the ducks!) so I bought a couple of baby girl golden comets. The turkey and the chicks are great together. At about 6 weeks, I tried to introduce them all. One duck was still aggressive toward the turkey and chicks, but the other 3 didn't seem to mind them. So I built another area and are keeping them separated for now. That's my long and windy way of saying I think it depends on the individuals. Many folks have success with it, but I didn't. Not yet anyway.

I might give it a try. I wanted to get 2 turkeys, the younger the better. I have 6 ducks so maybe with two turkeys there wont be an odd man out.
