If it was warmer out they would be ok but at 38 degrees I would give them 100w bulb just to be safe.  Turkeys just tend to be more sensitive than chickens to cold temperatures.

That is good they are doing good. I hope they continue to do so.  I bet they will because they have been doing so.  Sometimes it is good thing to be safe than sorry.  But I am glad they are doing fine!
