I have 150 FR. They are 5 weeks old. I put them on pasture 2 weeks ago and they are still in the hoop houses that I move daily. 50 in each one. Plan was to keep them in these for 6 weeks then open them up to free range with my turkeys in a 1 acre electric netted pasture area.
So yesterday I got a new batch of feed. 500lbs. Feed them in the AM and all was fine. Went back to feed them at 6pm and make sure everyone had water and close up the animals for the night. Got then and found 7 dead. Felt their crops and nothing was in them. Completely empty. Got their this AM and 20 more dead. Same thing. Granted the feed this time was not rolled to my liking it is still plenty rolled.
Any out there have any clues?
