Hello All,

Can I raise a couple of turkeys in the same pen as the 20 or so chickens I have? Thanks for the help
 
Hi, it would be best to raise them separately. Chickens can carry a disease known as Blackhead, that can be very deadly to turkey & peafowl. That said, may people do raise and keep them together, especially with a good worming program. It is just a hard call, as chickens may never show signs they have it until you start losing turkeys etc.... Check and see how prevalent Blackhead is in your area.
