3 Female Turkeys for Sale Highlights

  • Poult Growth Stages: Turkey poults require specialized starter feed and a warm environment, typically heated to 95°F for the first week, gradually decreasing heat by 5°F each week. They are susceptible to drafts and dampness.
  • Adult Turkey Care: Adult turkeys need access to fresh water and a balanced diet of grains and protein. They benefit from roosting bars and protection from predators, especially at night.
  • Breeding and Laying: Hens typically begin laying eggs in the spring, with a clutch size varying from 8 to 15 eggs. Incubation takes approximately 28 days. Fertility rates can be influenced by the tom-to-hen ratio.
  • Meat Production: Turkeys are raised for their meat, with growth rates varying by breed. Broad Breasted White turkeys are common for commercial meat production due to their rapid growth and large size.
  • Temperament and Socialization: Turkeys can be social birds but may exhibit pecking order behaviors. Some breeds are known to be more docile than others. Toms can become aggressive during mating season.
