Turkeys For Meat?

95-100? Shoot, I couldn't even raise them in April! But, sounds like Granny's Roost made it through the summer. My yard is all shade. I've found with my chickens that wading pools work better than misters. Misters seem to cause a lot of respiratory disease in the summer with poultry and they do much of their cooling through their feet.

big difference based on the humidity... when we're 95-100 and 95% humidity, they have real trouble cooling themselves. if you're dry, they'll tolerate more heat, but wading pools sound good... mine will stand in the kiddy pool quite happily.
