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.

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.

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.

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!

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?

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.

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.

Yes they can, but it would rarely happen and the youngsters would have defects.
