Can chickens ducks and turkeys live together?

And they can be cooked together too....i.e. the TurduckinYep - completely possibleYes, they can. My sister has a "farm", where in one pen, she has turkeys, chickens and emus (of all things)...and they have ducks and geese as well. Every day, she allows the chickens and turkeys out of the pen, and they wander the yard with the ducks and geese. The only time any harm has come to any of them is when the male emu gets ticked off and tramples one. ----------------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.

What age do you stop feeding baby ducks?

Farm ducks need feed everyday. Domestic ducks are dependent on the feed a farmer provides and only supplement their feed on a pond and around the yard. You do not "stop" feeding domestic ducks. If you have been feeding wild ducks then you can stop anytime you feel you want to. The ducklings will follow the flock and feed where the adults are feeding just in shallower waters.
