Male Turkey Bird

Male Turkey Bird Highlights

• Male Turkey Growth: Male turkeys, also known as toms, grow significantly larger than hens. They reach maturity and market weight faster, typically within 18-24 weeks for broad-breasted varieties.
• Meat Yield: Male turkeys are primarily raised for meat. A mature tom can yield a substantial amount of meat, making them a popular choice for larger families or events.
• Temperament: While generally docile, mature toms can become territorial and aggressive, especially during mating season. Proper handling and housing are important.
• Dietary Needs: Young turkeys require a high-protein starter feed. As they grow, their diet can transition to a grower and then a finisher feed, ensuring optimal development.
• Brooding Requirements: Young poults need a warm, draft-free brooder with a heat source. Temperature should be gradually reduced as they grow and develop their own feathers.
• Seasonal Considerations: Turkeys are typically raised seasonally, with poults hatched in the spring to be ready for harvest in the fall or winter.
