The Baby Turkeys are Hatching

in #homesteading7 years ago

Here is a few pics of our new baby turkeys that just hatched today. I set them up a brooder in the shop with a 250W red light bulb to heat them and I put there food and water up on blocks of wood so that way they wouldn't get any poop or hay in them.

Another thing with turkeys is that if you don't put marbles or something shiny in there water they aren't smart enough to figure out how to drink and will die. Another alternative to this is to put a chick that is a few days old in there with them and they will learn how to drink and eat from the chick.
