Our first poults just arrived this morning. We have never raised turkeys before and have heard from many people that turkeys spend most of their time looking for ways to die. I hope that we get at least a few of them to processing day. We ordered 2 broad-breasted bronze, two black spanish, and two blue slate. We split an order with a farmer friend and he got 10 of each of the heritage breeds. One black spanish was doa but the others look ok for now. I am keeping mine with some broilers that hatched the same day until processing day for the broilers when the turkeys will go to their own pen. Any tips for me?
