    Skinny turkeys

    I have been giving them cracked corn but they are a little fatter, we ate and sold some at Christmas but hardly any meat on them. Their skin was very hard, could hardly cut them. And their eggs was like hard to crack open. Just trying to get rid of them nobody wants them/

    7 week old poults

    Hi, I have 3 fully grown turkeys which I keep separate from my 5 month old poults. Also I have 7 week old poults which I keep in a small cage but they are getting too big for the cage and I'm limited where to put them all. Would it be safe to put the 7 week old poults with the 5 month old poults?
