I have a pair of royal palms, and was wondering if I could house a few of my chickens in with them temporarily. I have a couple roos that are getting beat up by the other chickens so would like to move them to a different pen where they still have access to a run. I am just a little afraid that the tom will hurt them if I put the chickens in with them. It would only be for a short time, maybe a little over a month. Thanks

It might depend on if your turkeys have even been around chickens ? My turkeys and chickens share a coop and are fine, if anything the turkey hens are bossier.

I have had turkeys in with my chickens. A hen and a tom, it was comical at times the tome would play police men and I had this one roo that would start crap all the time the tom would come over to him and bop him on the hed sending him to the ground he would give this look like he did some thing wrong and scurry away vary ROFL Turkey

I have two roosters in with the turkeys because they had no manners.
No issues, the turkeys leave them alone--it's just a tom and two hens.

All seems fine to me.
