Hello and welcome to BYC!

I love Turkeys! But I know nothing about them, definitely follow the links that @Debbie292d has left for you above and start a thread in our Turkey forum. Best wishes with your poults!

Ive had chickens for over 4 years now. Ill be getting a couple baby 1 week old turkeys tomorrow. I don't know much about turkeys. Do they use the same temperature system as baby chickens do? Reduce 5 degrees every week? Can some one lead me to the right place to read about baby turkeys? Thank you.

I don't know anything about temperature, but I can tell you the behavior is very different in my experience. I had two of the big white turkeys, and they acted like feathered puppies. where chickens are slow to trust a human, the turkeys would follow me around whining for treats. it was weird.
