Hi, newbie here!
I have 5 Narragansett turkeys (2 toms, 3 hens). They are almost 8 months old. I have been waiting to see some eggs from my hens, so I can begin raising some babies, but I have yet to see any eggs.
Should I feed them laying pellets, like I feed my chickens?
Are they still too young to produce eggs?
Also, they live in a completely enclosed pen (about 50 square feet). I would like to let them out this spring to eat some grass and get some exercise. Are Narragansetts flighty? I have not clipped their wings or anything. I ordered them from Welp hatchery.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS!!
