I have one turkey poult alone in a brooder. He's 2 weeks old and I think he needs a friend. My fiance is about to
this little poult if he doesn't shut up. There is a feed store about 30 minutes away that has BR poults that are about 3 days old... Would they be safe to brood with an older poult?
They also have meat birds and I wouldn't mind if my fiance wanted to get one to brood with Buzzy then eat at Thanksgiving but I would probably only do that if a 3 day old BR really wouldn't be safe with Buzzy. I'd feel a little bad cooking his buddy.
I have a CD, a stuffed animal and a perch in the brooder for him. There is a heat lamp and he has a whole stand up shower to himself with towels for bedding. He just peeps non stop. He is imprinted and calms down when I let him sit on my lap but I don't have time to sit around all day with him! Although that would be nice...
Thanks in advance, I know I'm worrying too much but I don't want to buy a poult and have Buzzy hurt him or just double the peeping.
