Tell me what you can about Turkeys

[BarredBuff]

What do you feed them? What is there brooder supposed to be like? What is the temperature for the first week and how much do you decrease it by each week? When can they free range? And any other advice or comments would be appreciated.

I have chickens right now. I am interested in getting a few Turkeys to wander about the place..they would be here just to be here and they may be a Thanksgiving meal. I was thinking about Naragansett....any comments about them? And can you please tell me all you know about brooding these animals and anything about them as adults would be appreciated.
Thank You

Best place to start to answer most of your question is the ALBC turkey manual. http://www.albc-usa.org/downloads.html
