I am raising 6 Bourbon Red Turkeys, coming in about a week. I have raised meat chickens in the past, but I have some questions. 1. Should I feed them medicated feed for the first few weeks? 2. If I let them pasture, will they take off and explore or stick around my yard. it is a clearing with a big pond. Next to the clearing is a small section of woods, that goes into my neighbors yard. 3. I have a 6ft fence to keep them in. Can they fly over that with clipped wings? 4. If I sell them, should I pay to get them butchered or sell them live? How do I even find a butcher for only 6 birds? You dont have to answer all questions, just as many as you can. Thanks!
I don't think i can answer all of those questions, but i heard that they can get eaten up by mosquitoes easily.
