When can my turkeys move in with my chickens?

Hi there, I have got a pair of wrolstad bronze turkey hens, currently 5 weeks old. I was wondering at what age they would be able to join a mixed flock with my chickens? Thanks for any help

If you live where blackhead is a problem, the answer is never. If blackhead is not a problem, whenever you want to introduce them.

Thank you, we contaced local poultry vet who said blackhead shouldn't be a problem. I will give it a little bit more time as they are much smaller than chickens at the moment.
