What temperature can turkeys tolerate

[Duckmom1234556788]

I have 3 female white broad breasted turkeys however they are now separated because they couldn’t seem to get along it is dropping to 10 degrees tonight and with wind chill -10 and I’m not sure what temperatures they can withstand without wind because they are enclosed but currently 2 have no heat lamp. Please let me know if you have any info.

Turkeys are quite hardy. They don't generally require extra heat unless very young. 10 degrees isn't that cold. As long as they are out of the wind and have good wide roosts they should be okay.

My turkeys did fine on their outside roosts. The low temperature was -40°F on Wednesday morning and -20°F last night.

I do not provide my turkeys with supplemental heat. Providing supplemental heat prevents them from properly acclimating to the ambient temperature.

You should have left them together unless their space is too small for turkeys. They have to work out their differences on their own. The more you interfere with their disputes, the longer it will take them to settle the disputes.
