Mr Chapo's Farm: Live Turkeys Highlights

  • Broad Breasted White Turkeys: These are a popular breed known for their rapid growth and high meat yield. They are typically ready for processing at around 14-20 weeks of age, depending on desired size.
  • Seasonal Availability: Turkey poults are generally available in the spring. Raising them to maturity for holiday seasons like Thanksgiving or Christmas requires careful planning and a consistent supply of feed and care.
  • Nutritional Needs: Young poults require a high-protein starter feed. As they grow, their dietary needs change, transitioning to grower and then finisher feeds to support their development and meat production.
  • Brooding Requirements: Newly hatched poults need a warm, draft-free brooder with a heat source. Temperatures should be gradually reduced as they grow and develop their own feathers.
  • Space Considerations: Turkeys require adequate space to roam and forage, especially as they mature. Overcrowding can lead to stress, disease, and reduced growth rates.
