Hi all,
I'm new to the turkey/chicken raising world. I have an Eastern Wild Turkey poult. He's just under a week old. I have him in a brooder with 24% chick starter by DuMor, water, heat lamp, and a box that he loves to play in and on. I occasionally let him out on supervised romps around my bathroom where he is kept. He ate two ants off the floor and he ends up eating some dog hair sometimes. I do my best to get the hair out of his mouth. Last night He snatched up this giant dust bunny. I pulled most of it out but now I am worried it will make him sick and today he seems a little less active than normal. Is it too early for me to be giving him chick grit with his food? I read a few places that grit shouldn't be given until 2 weeks, some say 3. He has normal weight, normal poo, seems to be eating and drinking fine. Thanks in advance for any help!
