chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys

Was chatting to my friend earlier about what you can keep with what.... 19

Ducks, geese and turkeys.....

Can you keep chickens with all the above or is there any poultry you cant keep with chickens?? If the pen is big enough. I know ducks can be a bit messy and geese can be a bit territorial and turkeys are well dont know much about them, but any reason why you cant keep altogether 19

Thanks for any help and info

Well it's quite a big question! I would hazard that maybe not many of us have that amount of variety with our feathered friends!

I keep ducks and chickens and kept them housed separately, sometimes they mingle as I have plenty of space it is not a problem. I keep the ducks separate mainly because I don't want the ducks contaminating the chickens drinking water and feeders.Generally speaking ducks also need more space and can wreck a garden/run in a day if not careful, especially runners ducks which are very active! Geese I know can be territorial and that can be an issue, a friend of mine kept some runners with geese, but the geese were such bullies he had to separate them all.

Keeping turkeys well I have never kept them so can't comment only inasmuch as there is a risk of blackhead being contracted from chickens to turkeys, but not the other away around.
