Poults moving outside

[Gobblebobble]

I have 9 turkey poutta that are 6 weeks old. It is 70-80 during the day here and 60-70 at night. Moving them outside today, thoughts?

Definitely get them outside. Expect some complaints as turkeys hate change, even for the better.

Yes they can be drama queens. When I moved mine outside (Texas Spring so not too much of a temp adjustment), one of mine fell out like she was going to die. I brought her inside and put her under the heat lamp for the night. She was absolutely fine though and when I woke up in the morning she had escaped the brooder and was roosting on my curtain rod lol. I put her back outside and she was fine.
