Can chick be kept with tortoise?

Question

I was thinking of buying a chick, can it be kept with my tortoise? its greek tortoise, and they are about 6-7 inch length, will the tortoise try to annoy the chick or no?

The tortoise Is kept outdoor,
P.S Does the chick will stay tame as it grow up to adult chicken? I will always interact and play with it while it is still chick, so it will think me as its parent.
But will it stay tamed when it grew up? or it will forget everything about the past?

Its a greek tortoise, a small species of tortoise, how can they eat meat, you mean those huge galapagos tortoise, thats not the one I have.

Answer 1

I am not too worried about the tortoise - from what I know they are pretty 'tame'. Its the chick that might be a worry. when it grows up it might wanna peck the tortoise, or not. We once gave my mom a little lost chick we found and it was really cute, sat on her lap, stayed in the house etc. But as it grew up, it, for some reason, became quite aggressive. It was nice to her, would respond to her calls, but it pecked rather nastily at others (people and other chickens she was inspired to add to her collection). Eventually, it attacked my father one day, he threw a stick at it, and well, needless to say that was it. I think chickens are unpredictable as pets, generally.

Answer 2

Tortoises in the wild eat whatever meat they can find or capture, and chicks would definitely count!

You can give it a try. As long as the chick has the opportunity to stay away from the tortoise, it might be OK.

As for being tamed... chickens are domesticated, but not tamed. Once they hit sexual maturity they forget about being a pet and go back to being a chicken.

Answer 3

There shouldn't be a problem with keeping the two of them together. If you interact with the chick, it will be like other pets. Recogonize you and your voice, come up to you, hang around you,etc. We have had several pet chickens as well as dogs, pot-bellied pigs, ducks, geese, squirrels, guineas, guinea pigs, hampsters, goats, calves, I think you get the idea. They are really easy to have as a pet. Have fun.

Answer 4

Chickens do no longer make very reliable pets as they are no longer very sparkling, and that they does no longer be very pleased with being held lots. if your desiring a puppy i could look into something else as you heavily isn't pleased with a chick as a puppy, they're cute and babies yet advance as much as person chickens who are not as cute. additionally chickens are meant to be saved exterior in a fowl coop, no longer indoors as that's the place i'm guessing you want to maintain it at.
