Providing proper care for your young turkeys is basically the same as caring for chicks. Hi David, But the site says that antibiotics are not especially helpful. I tried to get a hen to set on the eggs, but couldn’t. Good for you! At this point you will need to fill the feeders and waterers, placing them close to the lamp (never under it and never too far away), it is advisable to hang the feeders to avoid poults standing or pooping in them. Hi David, I don’t know how attached you are to your turkey. There are a variety of breeds available, including heritage turkeys and broad breasted hybrids.

I hope this helps and you have a successful hatch in about 28 days!

. Get the poults out to pasture by eight weeks of age. Many states do not allow poultry to be butchered on the farm and you must send them to a processing plant where the dressed birds are inspected. I’m a rookie at this and have never raised birds before this year. The extra protein will also be good. Other than size, there isn't a real difference. There is no telling what goes through a turkey’s mind when they do things like kill their own young.

In terms of turkeys, a "hen" is a mature female and a "jake" is a young male. Many hatcheries sell day-old turkeys, also known as ‘poults,’ in the spring and early summer. The hen has been setting on the eggs for 11days now. It would be difficult to divide the pen into 5 parts and still give them room to run, plus it would mean extra feeders and waterers.

On paper, both of the production breeds may seem very interesting; they are the Broad Breasted Whites and the Broad Breasted Bronze. Plan ahead and remove your turkey from the freezer far enough in advance to allow it to thaw completely before cooking.

Dip their beaks in water to teach them to drink, If the don’t eat on their own, add finely chopped greens to their feed, Give them chick grit to help them digest their food, Give them enough space in their brooder to move around and find a comfortable temperature, Do not use newspaper or any other slippery material to line the bottom of the brooder as these can cause ‘spraddle leg,’ a condition that prevents them from walking properly, Keep the temperature at 95 F for the first week, then reduce by 5 degrees each week until they are fully feathered out, Add probiotics to their water or give them chick grit with probiotics, After 2 or 3 days, add electrolytes to their water to give them extra nutrients, Feed poults a high protein game bird feed with 28% protein.
