Turkey housing question

[Sjisty]

I have two BB babies, about 2 weeks old. They are almost as big as my three 6-week old Brahma chicks. Can I house them together? Do I use the higher protein turkey feed or the lower protein chick starter? Would they be better just to be kept separate? I'm running out of coops! I will be calling my Ag Dept to see if there is blackhead in the area, although mine are the only chickens around.

Chick starter is fine..but if Turkey Starter is available, I would use that. It has a higher protein content.

I have always housed my turkeys separate from the chickens. Don't want to invite problems.

Southern States sells Sporting Bird starter. You want a nice high protein starter around 26-28%

I am using turkey starter but am wondering if it is okay for the chicks?

I had chicks in with poults for a few days..didn't hurt them any. I switched them back to chick starter when I took the poults out..they get too big to be in with the chicks very quickly.
