Welcome aboard!

I had a turkey that hatches 9 out of 12. All 9 survives to maturity.

Pic 1: Day 1
Pic 2: 3 months 3 weeks
Pic 3: 8 months plus with their babies.

I kept three, 1 tom & two hens. Their chicks have all shades of colors, some like grandma from Pic 1.






waooo I love this, I wish I could have 5 females from this 9 poults, I'll be so happy

May God bless your hustle. I have learnt a lot from you, my wife introduced me to the local Turkey rearing this year, they are doing well now, I will like to try out the foreign breed. Thank you for the clarity.
You can try the foreign. They are fragile when young and eat more than chicken. But they have high sale value. Good luck in your hustle.

One of the challenges of rearing Turkey is the sales of the mature one is not easy to see buyers for them. The poult are easy to sell compare to the mature one.

Nice one boss. Are your turkeys local or foreign?

Wow, this is a very wise thing to say, so he is the only one who does this in Nigeria.
He said there is demand and people would be rushing him, I wanted to know if we are in the same Lagos or it is in another state this is happening.

I also needed help in setting up my farm that's why I am asking that question

Young turkeys dont grow well if given non standard feed.

In attached photo the biggest turkey is 6 weeks old. Second biggest is 6 weeks 3 days old, the smaller ones are 5 weeks old.

The biggest is fed starter feed all through while the rest are free ranged - look at the size difference.

See complete video: youtube.com/ watch?v=53ZSTTCQd-0

Let's hope for their fast pace growth on the feed you give the 3 weeks olds .

Thanks, I hope to have as many as possible. Adult turkeys are health wise usually strong, they're less susceptible to common poultry diseases.

You can raise day olds too if you have raised broilers before.

Re: Meet My Turkey Mums & Chicks by A7(m): 4:47pm On Feb 08, 2022
Week 12 update.

They got taller & bigger, more tail feathers and head turned red.

I plan to let them out in the morning today but the weather is too cold. They will free range henceforth.

Great. You're gradually getting set for big turkey business. Wish you success for your breeding plan.

The mothers of my poults are laying again, 15 eggs so far.
