My uncle got me talking today, and told me that if I would raise them, he would buy a couple BB turkeys and pay for the food. Now, I wanted to raise some Cornish X chicks, so I said yes immediately. I'll talk to him some more and see if we will go through with it. I decided to pass up on the broody idea because another option became open! My question is, how long does it take a turkey to reach the right age for butcher? My uncle is wanting Thanksgiving turkeys, so I probably wont get any for a couple months, but the feedstore usually carries them for most of the year. They have some in there right now, in fact. Also, is the care the same as the Cornish X Chicks? Thanks for any input.
