Temp at 95?

[Jaswango]

All 6 are up now jumping around @93 so tomorrow I might let 93 go down

They are staying out of the shadow and drinking water and pecking food

 

[Jaswango]

I have 44 more eggs to hatch and yes a bigger brooder but these were my very first

Including turkeys

They are staged by 1 week apart …. This was my test run

I would brood your turkey poults separate from your chicks. What variety of turkeys are hatching?

 

[Huntmaster]

Your turkey poults have different feed needs than chickens. They need a higher protein, methionine, lysine % that Turkey or Gamebird starters should have.

put them in the brooder at 95 for the first week and cut it down 5 degrees per week… I’m new to this and just need y’all’s advice

That's the typical thing folks quote, but it's really too hot and conservative IMO. Too much heat can increase risk of pasty butt when it's easily avoided by not overheating them. I think 90F is plenty at start with a cool zone of 70F or lower, and you can drop by more than 5F a week.
I wean 4-week-olds off heat with outdoor ambient temps in mid-40s, obviously that is much more aggressive than "5F a week."

Obviously turkey poults have different needs …wow …and 1 week old chicks have different needs than 2 … I don’t know why I even came to the internet y’all so judgy

I don't understand the trend of asking for help, receiving it, and then getting mad because help was provided.

Watch them, plain and simple. If they are huddled under the heat source, it's too cold. If they are avoiding the heat, it's too warm! Don't need a thermometer for that. Besides we all know from our "take your temperature every 2 hours" Covid days, most thermometers are not as accurate as we could hope! Size of brooder is indeed so very important. They need room to run and play as well as moderate their own temperatures.
