Yes, they can. I have chickens, ducks and turkeys living together and they do quite well. Sometimes my one, white duck (Donald) wants to 'hump' the female turkey, though. She's not interested in the venture so I feel bad that she's being bugged. My turkey, however, is an older turkey, almost a year now and she's started to lay eggs. I think her maturity brings on Donald's sexual desires, but I don't know this to be a fact. I never see Donald 'humping' his female ducks but often seems to be at the female turkey. Go figure! :o)

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Turkeys shouldn't live with chickens because chickens transmit diseases that are fatal to turkeys, such as blackhead disease (shows no effect on chickens but is fatal to turkeys). Turkeys really shouldn't be within a half mile of chickens. I kept my turkeys only a few hundred feet of my chickens and they did fine.

I have been told that the wild turkeys can but not a lot of the domestic ones. They can pick up ecoli from the chickens and mine seem to have. I had mine in the same pin and at first they seem to do all right but then they started dropping. I've lost 4 out of 10 so far and they just seem to quit eating. I am trying to research more on this but I have lost some turkeys. I have a Holland White that seems to do good but my Bronze Wings are not.

∙ 7y agoYes they can I have chickens and ducks and they live together. The one duck that I had even thought it was a chicken. It would be in the pond all happy and then our mother hen would make this awful sound and our duck would hop out of the pond, waddle across the field into the chicken coop and sit on the chicken's eggs.

Do dogs and baby ducks get along?
Ducks will pick on baby chicksI bought some baby chickens and ducks (and geese) last year and they all get along. I kept them together when I first brought them home, but after a few weeks, the ducks started picking on the chicken's feathers. So, I separated the chickens from the ducks and when they were all old enough, I let them all run free on my farm. The ducks (and 1 goose) run together and the chickens have their own separation of groups. They all eat together and of course the ducks and the goose eat first, but I put food out in several piles (since I have 31 chickens). I did adopt 1 large duck (who is 2 years old) and was not raised with my babies and he sometimes chases the chickens away from the other ducks, but nothing really bad. I am pleased that my dogs and cats don't bother my chickens and ducks either. I am getting more chickens and ducks this year, so I will let you know if I have further problems. Hope this helps someone. Thanks.
What other birds can chickens live with apart from turkeys?
Chickens can live with lots of different birds. They have been known to coexist with pigeons, guinea fowl (there have even been guinea/chicken hybrids), geese (although you have to be careful as large geese can kill chickens), and even emus. It goes without saying that they should have lots of room to run though, so they aren't all together in a crowded space.

Can pheasants and turkeys live together?
It's possible, meaning you would have to have a good amount of space for both animals. Ducks love water, so if you have a pond or somewhere they could go play in that would be great. I currently have turkey's living with chickens and peacocks and they all get along great! Once they get their pecking order in place they should be fine.

What age can a duckling live with other ducks and chickens?
You can put them together at anytime, but you should wait until the ducklings are about 9 weeks because by then they are a little bigger and they have less of a chance of getting hurt by the bigger ducks.
