      You can certainly free range turkeys and Chickens together without any problem. You can mix most domestic poultry, I have had Chickens, ducks geese turkeys and peafowl all together, you can even add guinea fowl.

      Look, I've read 'no' to this in the books and as a consequence have never tried keeping turkeys with my chickens. I loaned the book that said it (and never saw it again) but if memory serves, it is because of a disease called "black head" that the turkey gets.

      However if you have now done it successfully I'd be very interested to hear more.

      yes, I have heard that as well. The turkeys can contract a disease from the faces of the chickens. Though people put them together for their own convenience. this does not mean that it is best for the turkey.
