Turkey Birds for Rearing Highlights

  • Growth and Maturity: Turkeys typically reach market weight between 14 to 28 weeks of age, depending on the breed and desired size. Factors like feed, environment, and genetics influence their growth rate.
  • Dietary Needs: Young poults require a high-protein starter feed. As they grow, their diet can transition to grower and finisher feeds, which are formulated to support their specific nutritional requirements at different life stages.
  • Housing and Space: Turkeys need adequate space to roam and express natural behaviors. Overcrowding can lead to stress, disease, and reduced growth. Proper ventilation and clean bedding are essential for their health.
  • Seasonal Considerations: While turkeys can be raised year-round, their breeding season is typically in the spring. Purchasing poults in spring allows for a full growing season before colder weather sets in.
  • Meat Yield: The amount of edible meat from a turkey varies by breed and sex. Broad Breasted White turkeys are popular for their high meat yield and rapid growth, making them efficient for commercial production.
