We are in need of some information from you turkey owners... We have 2 Royal Palm Toms and 2 Blue Slates... one female and one Tom
1. Turkeys start laying around 20 weeks... Correct?
2. Do they start out with pullet eggs like chickens?
3. What should we exspect from these breeding...crossing royal palm with blue slates?
4. How long does it take these to hatch... and will she set on them?
Any information that any of you can give to us would be greatly appreciated... The turkeys do not have their own coop and at this time, we do not have the funds to put up a seperate area for them... If I am able to though, would it be okay just to make a small area just for her and her eggs? How big would it need to be? I know for each turkey it is 4 to 5 sqft per turkey... is this correct? Will she be okay by herself? These turkeys belong to my son Cody, and I have given him the information that I have read on here... but I am still unsure if I am correct.
Thanks for any infomation you can provide... Tes & Cody
