So the turkeys are officially a week old. And I lost two in the first week, but some loss is to be expected. They are starting to be more active and are kinda cute little fluff balls. Not sure how much longer they will stay in the single pool area. They are getting more mobile.
They don’t have to have marbles in their feed anymore. They know that feed is to eat. And they are doing well at eating.
Just a note about the pool. I was at the dollar store shortly after these were put on sale. Several had holes in them from shipping. I pointed that out to the manager and he ended up giving me all the ones that were damaged. It is so much easier to keep the shaving confined than just leaving things on the garage floor. If you are thinking about getting young birds a pool is a great way to contain the mess.
Check back next week for more adventures in raising turkeys.
