Turkeys and chickens together. Any tips?

[Dogfish]

I'm getting another batch of CX on Wednesday (in transit as I type this), and the feed store I am getting them from have some Bronze turkey's as well. One of my friends has done this before, but he is on deployment, so kind of out of touch at the moment. Any tips?

I can separate them if need be, as I have the space in the brooder, but I am up to the challenge.

Thanks in advance!

Shoot, I have my chickens mixed in with my turkeys. They all seem to get along. The chickens help them out in the beginning showing them where the food and water are. I know in about 6 months that ill have to move them out. I dont wont my turkeys stomping my chickens flat. To me its the easiest way in raising baby turkeys.

We keep them together for about 2 weeks and then seperate them. The only reason we seperate them is because of the different protien levels in the feed.

My daughter's silkie pullet's favorite place to roost at night is between two full-grown turkeys. The birds never got the memo about their size differences being an issue.
