I was told by DH I could get 4 turkeys this season. Keep in mind they are for meat purposes. I have raised chickens for many years and figured turkeys couldnt be much different other then feed. I had to have done something wrong.
We fed game bird starter 22%
Kept them about 90 degrees
Lots of fresh water with vitamins and electrolytes (told to do so by feed store)
Didnt handle much at all
They all died by day 4. They had just arrived to feed store the day we got them so at most 3 days old meaning nobody made it past a week of age. This was a sad thing for me to deal with. I want to try again but need to know if I did something wrong. They were BBB turkeys.
Thank you very much
