BB turkey

[Cason]

What is the quickest way to fatten these turkeys? Thanks.

Feed them a high protein feed, keep them in a small area and keep the feed in front of them at all times. They will do the rest. The BB types grow fast.

Thanks.. unfortunately mine only like cucumbers- not exactly a high fat food!

Guess I shouldn't have given them any to begin with.

Since you got yours in May it will be more than ready for Thanksgiving and will be HUGE by then. 4 1/2 to 5 months and a BB type is ready, past that they can get leg problems from the weight. You may have to limit the feed towards the end in your case. I was assuming the OP just got some and wanted to grow them out fast for the holidays, that was why I recommended containing them and shoveling the feed to them.
