I grew mine with Purina Flock Raiser with 5 grain scratch feed, with limited corn. I also added 24% chick starter grower feed for 4 months before slaughter for extra meat building.You guys are inspiring me to raise a turkey for next year's feast!! I had no idea they got so big!!
Do they eat all flock and free range all day? What is the secret??
Mystery Chicken,
Not bad sizes.View attachment 1969441 our heritage black boys View attachment 1969444 big one dressed out at 22.25 pounds and the little one at 15.22 pounds. Too big for our plucker to do a good job, but the kids helped me get the last few feathers.
For heritage they were good. These boys were hatched in April. They were exters for my DD's fair projectNot bad sizes.
I hope the heritage turkeys we get produce a good amount of meat.For heritage they were good. These boys were hatched in April. They were exters for my DD's fair project
