Can a turkey and a chicken breed ? What will the chick grow to be ?


Answers:
If it's a male turkey and a female chicken, you will get a bird called a ticken. If it's a male chicken and a female turkey you will get a bird called a churkey.
If it's a male goose and a female swan you'll get a bird called a gwan. If it's a male swan and a female goose you'll get a bird called a swoose.
So, if it's a male duck and a female pheasant you'll get a bird called a deasant. If it's a male pheasant and a female duck you'll get a bird called George.
I really hope this is a hypothetical question...
chickey... hahaha! stupid answer i know.but worth the 2 points
I don't know, but I guess it would be called a turken if they did! Hmmm, I guess Thanksgiving would never be the same.
I dont know if they can or not. but i guess it would be a turchicken or a churkey!
there are poultry called turkens, but they are not the result of chickens and turkeys breeding, this doesn't happen. THe turken is a genetic defect that causes a lack of feathers in the neck region of the chicken, looks kind of like a turkey.
It has been done,but it is difficult.I don't know what you would call one;I'd call it a bird! Here is some interesting info.

tasty..mmmm...turcken.mmmmm...
A Burkey,like the one that asked the question.It is possible for a turkey to breed with a chicken but this would be only possible with artificial insemination using a Turkey Baster!
Yes they can, but it would rarely happen and the youngsters would have defects.
No, they can't breed. However, there is a breed of chicken that has no feathers on it's neck. It is called a naked-neck chicken. It has feathers on the top of its head that resembles the hair on the top of a person's head.
Turkeys and chickens are different species and they would not interbreed on their own...With human help, however, it may be possible, there are guinea/pheasant and chicken/pheasant hybrids out there.
There is a breed of chicken called a 'Turken' that has a bald neck like a turkey, but it is not the result of a turkey-chicken mating, but rather a genetic defect that stops feathers from growing on the neck.
I don't think that turkeys and chickens actually bred to form a 'turken', but there really is a bird that looks like a chicken and a turkey called a 'turken'. Who knew?
