yes but keep them all wormed. however if you have ever had blackhead on your land then dont let young turkeys near it. you will need a big shed or stable to keep them together. they do need room. however you could be unlucky and have your flock wiped out by the bug. if your going to free range the turkeys they will mix with your chickens very well.

Ours are hilarious - the boys spend most of the day 'displaying' but whenever Rodney the Cockeral gives a crow they all respond in unison with a 'gobble gobble gobble'!!!
