Any heritage breed will work, commercial breeds will not live long enough. Turkeys need a higher protein feed then chickens. Turkeys only lay eggs in the spring if there is a male with them. They sleep on roosts so as long as there is a high place its fine.

Okay thanks! I am still trying to decide if I want to raise heritage or commercial turkeys. I have from may to early november to raise them but it can be shorter then that. Any information is welcomed, Thanks!

Sorry I am new to this stuff and slightly confused. Do you mean 30 weeks from hatch or 30 weeks from when they get in the tractor.

Would a turkey tractor this size be sufficient for 12 heritage turkeys? If not how many do you think could fit in a tractor this size?

I have to say Narragansett just by looks but its between them and the Bourbons

No not yet I am going to get them next summer but want to make sure I have everything planned out. Thanks for all the info its really helpful!

The title explains it all, show your photos of heritage turkeys. Couldn't find a thread for this so here it is, post away!

Thanks this is very helpful, still in the researching phase and I need all the info I can get!

Hi everyone, I am looking to raising about dozen turkeys this coming summer. My goal would be to raise and sell most of them for their meat but, I might keep three over the winter to breed. I am considering raising them in a movable turkey tractor. Please reply with what breed you think sounds...
