First time turkey mom ...and production at that.
My poults are 4 weeks old and has most of their feathers. Its 70 to 95 during the day and 45 to 55 at night... when can they go outside permanently... do i still need to wait until they are 8 weeks old or can i kick them out sooner?
Also when can i start giving them meat bird feed crumbles? They are on a chick starter feed now for the 1st month but can they transition to meat bird / higher protein feed now or should i wait a little longer?
Whens the best time to process them? I heard 20 - 24 weeks ... is this true? (5 to 6 months?)
Thank you!
Also can they go straight into the coop with my adult chickens and juvenile teenage chickens ... or do they need a grow up transition pen first?
