I am a new wild turkeys raiser in Alaska. I Need to know when I can start giving pults grit.
When they can get fresh air outside.? it's 60-65 now in daytime) They are 1 1/2 wks old.
When can they eat other things in addition to grower like fresh veges or fruit?

Hello! You can start giving grit right away, but start easy. Sprinkle just a few granules on their feed the first day, a little more the next day, and after a week you should be able to allow them free choice.

You can put them on range as long as they are kept dry. At 1 1/2 weeks, as long as they don't get wet and can get back under a heat lamp when they want, they will enjoy exploring outside.

You can start to provide treats, chopped up small enough for them to enjoy. Just make it a small part of their diet until they are about eight weeks old.

Good luck, and welcome!
