Did not lose even one last year of all the ones I hatch.
Do the same as with peachicks, Start them on medicated starter 24 to 28 % . keep them on wire floors from day one until 10 weeks. Dont mix with chickens. Use hard boil egg yolk over the feed first day, sugar in the water first day. Brood at temp. 95 first week reduce 5 degree each week.
If you want to raise 100% of poults. this has always worked for me.
Keeping them out of the waste, teaching them to find food and water the first day. You will find with these few tricks they are just as easy to raise as chicken chicks.
Hope this help those new to raising turkey poults.
