Hello Everyone,
This is my first post and I would like to share with you a little information on how to raise baby turkeys from my experience with raising them (about a year experience).
Materials
1- Light
2- Shelter (Cage or Cartoon Box)
3- Waterer and Feeder (With water and food)
4- Medicine--It is not necessary unless they are sick.
5- Sand or Wood Shaving--I prefer Sand, although, some people don't.
*I think it depends from climate region to climate region what is the best flooring for the poults to walk on. In an Arid or Semiarid or any other dry region, sand is preferred. On wet regions, wood shavings is preferred.
*I only raised poults in a dry climate, but I have knowledge that wet regions prefer wood shaving instead of sand.
Procedure
1- Prepare the Poult's shelter with water, food, light, and flooring.
2- Put the poults in their shelter.
3- Enjoy
*Don't forget to clean the flooring when it gets dirty (almost every 2 days).
*When the poults reach seven weeks of age, they should move to another larger shelter and they should be treated and raised as adult Turkeys.
