Why? It was a gorgeous summer with fresh air, sunshine, bugs and greens to eat. Why on earth play by a hard and fast rule that does not make sense? We have baby chicks out with their mom immediately. Ease up.

turkeys should be turned outside at ten weeks. NOT 6!

They like eat weeds

Hi Lily, I'm Lily! :D
I wish I could have some turkeys of my own but my mom keeps telling me 'No' since we have chickens. Apparently there is some kind of disease that chickens can get from Turkeys and that is why mom doesn't want us to chance having them both. Hopefully you never have that disease problem.
Cute little Turkeys, they are so cool.

Hi! The disease is called Blackhead and it can kill turkeys. Chickens can carry it. However, in our area we don't have that disease, so the chickens and the turkeys can live happily, side by side. You should ask around--especially at your local feed store, if the disease is in your area. If it's not, tell your mom I said you should get turkeys! They are wonderful!

Coolness, I told mom and she said alright and we'll look into it.
Do you take care of them relatively just like chickens or do Turkeys have special needs? I know they are able to fly and like to roost, but is there much difference, size aside? Thanks again, so very much!

Hi, Lily!
Care wise, there is not much difference. Both chickens and turkeys can fly and like to roost. Turkeys of course are a lot heavier and may need sturdier roosting bars. Also, Turkeys can tolerate a higher protein feed for their whole lives. Chickens need a high protein while they are growing, but need a lower protein, higher calcium feed for egg production. On our farm, both the chickens and turkeys free range and eat lots of bugs, dirt and greens all day long.
