Turkeys with chickens

Oh... I didn't know that; I just thought there's a chance they could get sick from it, but typically recovered. Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.

Younger ones will probably die quicker, but older ones can and do die.

Aw. :/ Thanks for informing me. You've definitely earned that BYC Educator Badge, I can tell.

Turkey can be thugs. Mine chase my chickens around, and try to get them. I have places my chickens can escape to where the turkeys can't follow. All my poultry free ranges in the same area, but the turkeys get locked up after a while so the chickens and ducks can relax again.

Good point. My free-ranging turkey hen gives the chickens and ducks tons of grief!

2x Better Than Rubies I have read it's a change keeping turkeys with chickens due to the "blackhead" issue. I don't have turkeys so the info didn't sink in but you should search it in the forums.

Sorry about the typo - it should be CHANCE and not change in my first sentence

Oh, okay; that's alright, ChickNanny! It happens.
