..hahaha..read first-ask second..duh!...
anyway,
May looks good..do they have to under lamp yet at that time..generally?
There are some nice looking turkeys out there..never thought i would say that!! hahhaa....
 
I hatched in may, treated like chickens, actually raised with some, heat lamp same temps, etc they just her bigger. I also used higher protein feed, 24 to start, then 20% the rest of the time.
I was new at it, but they were about the same as chickens. They are really friendly and fun so I will warn you, if you plan to eat them, try not to get attached!

I hate using the phone for this. So many typos,
