    Pasturing

    Apparently, I should have told you where we are raising the turkeys. I am in NH. I'm not sure what kinds of predators there are around here, I just know they exist. Thank you all for your experiences; I will post again when I have more details.

    Pasturing

    "I have lost some pretty big broilers to a hawk" Do you mean chickens? My turkeys are about 12 weeks old and are bigger than any broilers we've ever raised. Still, it sounds like the wild birds could kill them even if they can't carry them away. Hmmm...Does your poultry net totally enclose...

    Pasturing

    We have been pasturing our tukeys in a covered run with mobile housing inside. We'd like to give them more space, but don't have the infrastructure to continue with a covering. At what age/size can we surround them with electric fence and not be concerned with aerial predators?

    Red Rangers - 8 weeks - live weight 4 to 6.25 pounds - thoughts??

    I was wondering about the finished prouct of the Red Ranger. Is there any skin blotching from the colored feathers? I'd be curious to try them, but after processing Black Australorps, GLWs and RIRs I'm a little hesitant.
