Can a chicken cross breed with a turkey?

By a chicken cross did you mean a hybrid chicken or do you have some imaginary chicken-dog you want to breed with a turkey, in which case no.

A chicken and a turkey can not breed together any more than a cow can breed with a Chimpanzee. They are totally different species.

Such a cross has been tried, several times, by scientists studying genetics but AFAIK although they succeeded in getting fertile eggs with some embryonic development, none ever lived long enough to actually hatch. There have been successful attempts at hatching & rearing chicken/pheasant, I think also chicken/guinea fowl hybrids, always sterile of course. Wikipedia has a page about these & similar hybridisation attempts.
