Hello bro .. Congratulations on your Journey.
Please I have a few questions for you ..
1, What do you feed your mature Turkeys? It all depends on your target. Are you planning to fatten them up for slaughter/ live sales, or you want to raise female turkeys to produce fertile eggs to hatch with incubator? If for producing poults (Turkey chicks), then once around 7% to 10% of your flock is laying consistently, you can change your feed from grower to layer mash.
2, My Turkeys are laying egg but they are breaking it, what do I do? You have extra work to do then, some factors can bring about that. Check if the pen is conducive enough for them, avoid overcrowding.
How many are the females? How many males do you have in the same pen with them?

Morning my fellow farmers.

Quick update!!

My turkey refuse to lay another egg for like 3good days, I was down and stress plus not feeling happy about her new development.

So, I was told it will lay again due to this is her first time of laying egg.
On Sunday I packed the 3eggs she layed and take it home to enjoy my sunny day.
Funnily she layed again on that Sunday afternoon, I was so pain.

My wonderful turkey is doing her work. She's now giving me egg everyday.

If she can later hatch all her egg, I will really treat this egg with love.

I may carry her go one eatry to just surprise her and buy her a lot of candy 🍬 and chocolate... 😂 😂

My turkey started brooding yesterday 6th 06 2023. Hopefully in the next 28 days I should be expecting a new poult to strengthen my journey.

She layed 10eggs in total, but I chop 3 out of it. I need to eat the fruit of my Labour. 😂 😂 😂

Why not collect those babies and nurse them seperately. I heard turkey aren't good at taking care of their young ones. ( Uncommon opinion though).

Did you take the poult away from the turkey as they are hatching it or what? Because my two turkeys were killing theirs as they were hatching them one by one.

I took the last one they hatched and they didn't hatch the remaining eggs.

One is currently sleeping on the eggs now . please advise

No, I waited till she hatched all the eggs before I packed the chick 🐥 to a safer room to brood...

More so, I treat my turkey in a special way when she's sitting on the eggs....

Hi, my turkey is brooding and I discovered she didn't even come out to eat yesterday at all. Is it normal?

And it's started brooding when the eggs was 8, but it has increased to 12 now. Thought it was suppose to start covering after she might have lay all her eggs.

That's their nature! Just leave her to do her thing.
