I'm getting my first 4 turkey poults this coming weekend. They're from a late June hatch. Right now they're 2 weeks old. She has Narragansetts and Buffs and was experimenting with color a little on these. Here's a picture.
I was just curious what they may look like mature. I have raised many chicks, some guineas and ducklings but this is our first batch of turkeys. I am not positive yet where to put them. She's keeping them indoors without a heat lamp right now just under 80 degrees I believe. I don't particularly want them inside (I've done the brooding inside many times before and would rather not if I can help it) but I'm worried its too hot outside to put them outside.
Anyway we (my husband and I) are very excited. We really just wanted a few to mosey about the barnyard and backyard and these poults parents are literally pet types that let you pet them etc. So I am thrilled! Can't wait!
