Turkey perch ?

[thessalonchick]

I have purchased 15 turkeys that I plan to sell for meat . However I can’t seem to find a straight answer on wether they should be using perches/roosts . I read that these can lead to breast blisters? So if I plan to sell them for meat should they or shouldn’t they have a perch/roost?

If they are broad breasted, hay or straw bales will be fine for roosts. Roosts do not lead to breast blisters. Lying on the ground can lead to breast blisters.
