3years challenge with Turkey farming.. (journey with me) by Tommymoses(m): 3:08pm On Jul 15, 2022
My aim is toward what I can achieve with this turkey farming within 3 years of practice...

Good afternoon Great Farmer!!

I bought this turkey about 7 months ago and I was told is a male turkey.

I was confused and feel cheated because by now a 7 month turkey should at least be chasing people around my compound.

Pls I need clarification is this Male/Female turkey �?.

You can't defferentiate till they get to 4-5month.

My turkey of 9months is back home after I carried her for Tom to mate her.
I make sure the Tom mate with her in order to fertile the Egg.
I should be expecting Egg by ending of this month.

NB: I lost the male turkey I have at a tender age.

Mating doesn't produce eggs.

A female turkey should be able to produce eggs without mating.

What mating does is that it fertilises the eggs so you can hatch a chick from it.



If your female Turkey has never laid any egg, then mating won't make anything happen.

When your hen is on heat, mating will produce fertile egg.
The essence of carried it for Tom to mate her is to help fertile the Egg..

I will be updating this thread for progress.....

Has your female Turkey laid any egg at all?
I am not talking about Fertile egg but egg in general

I have raised turkeys in the past. My female turkey was laying eggs with no mating. I consumed the eggs because I knew it was not fertilized.


It was after I bought a male turkey for mating that I left the eggs to hatch.

This is not my first time of raise turkey, I just relocate to another state so I dispose all my turkey due to long distance issue.

I just bought this Year February two of them, I later lost the male one, so I was left with this female turkey.

I had a deal with one guy in my area to help cross my turkey with his Tom.

At the ratio of (if my turkey hatch 10 poult I will give him 3poult, I get no choice than to accept coz I real want this "MY 9MONTHS TURKEY" to hatch by all means).

We set tomorrow to meet....
Re: 3years challenge with Turkey farming.. (journey with me) by Tommymoses(m): 4:17pm On Sep 20, 2022
I had a reason why I don't want to buy another female turkey or male turkey to cross my 9months female turkey, I choose to stick with this my life 9months turkey in order to produce a new generation for me.
Re: 3years challenge with Turkey farming.. (journey with me) by Tommymoses(m): 4:28pm On Sep 20, 2022
The reason why I so much love this "MY 9MONTHS TURKEY" is that she had an accident two different times

1. Next compound people hit the turkey with good 2×2 plank, the turkey nearly die. How the turkey survived it still amazed me.
The turkey wing was broken join with one of her leg.

2. Bike man crush my turkey to almost death, it was even on Sunday morning. If it's human being crushed by that bike I bet the person won't complete. I even said we should kuku kill it since the turkey was already vomiting blood, but to my surprise the turkey survived it again.

Any improvement, the male turkey seems to be bigger than the felmale tukey. The male organ will not be able to deposit it sperm for ferlization.

Where was the turkey staying before? Do you have cage for it or it just roams about the compound and sleeps anywhere?
