    Caring for poults

    My turkey hen, Giselle, hatched seven poults yesterday. I was wondering if they need any special requirements. We have fireants here, so I was wondering if that would be an issue. Also, do they need a different food to adult turkeys? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!
