Kaye's free range turkey thread

Who knew they required so much privacy? I'm learning a lot reading this thread.

I will be separating them. Probably tonight

Well I just but around 48 turkey eggs in the incubator a few days ago. Hoping for a good Turkey hatch.

That's a lot of Turkey eggs. Good luck.

I have 3 dozen eggs in the incubator, half should hatch in 3 weeks and the other half went in today.

What do guys all do with your turkeys? Sell them? Eat them? Or sell them for eating?

 

[feedman77]

Sell most I hatch.

Keep a few back for potential breeders and replacements.

The ones that are old or don't make the cut get butchered.

I, with a family of four, end up eating around 20 turkeys a year. We are able to replace all of our meet with turkey. TASTY.

 

[jlynnp]

We sell most of the poults and keep a few to eat. Occasionally I grow a few out and sell them.

So far I'm the only one who keeps them for looking at mostly, though my husband eats any extra toms and troublemakers. Turkeys sound quite profitable.
