I got the 17 gallon party tub in black. Something like this. http://www.kmart.com/party-tub-with...50144110001P?sLevel=0&redirectType=SKIP_LEVEL I hope my turkeys like this. I do have some old tires I can use. Maybe I will try both.

This is what I will be trying for the turkeys' nests. Need to get some chips and bring it to the turkeys. Do turkeys need separate nests or do they share like chickens?

Quote: That would mean a drive to lebanon and not sure I can fit it in my busy schedule.... I am scared you know that! I wish I had free range room! I dont and I already have stink from what I have. but I want some, do you think I should just get a handful and try them first? and keep them with the layers or something?

Sally , just get the 6 that you have to buy at TSC, and feeding them ferment really cuts down on the mess and smell...all TSC will have the meaties, never been to one that didn't.

I start mine out in the barn from day 1, they get a heat lamp but very few use it, meaties seem to give off a lot of heat from their bodies..

If I can track down some turkey poults, I was going to get 6 cornish x to raise with the poults.
