Mature Local & Foreign Turkey Birds Highlights

  • Growth Stages: Turkeys are typically sold at various ages, from poults (young chicks) to fully matured birds ready for processing. The 5-20 week range covers significant growth phases.
  • Breed Diversity: Both local and foreign turkey breeds exist, each with different growth rates, meat quality, and adaptability to local climates. Foreign breeds may be selected for faster growth.
  • Housing Needs: Turkeys require adequate space, protection from predators and extreme weather, and clean bedding. Brooding is necessary for young poults to maintain warmth.
  • Diet and Nutrition: A balanced diet is crucial for turkey development. Starter feeds for young birds transition to grower and finisher feeds as they mature, providing essential proteins and nutrients.
  • Market Readiness: Turkeys reach market weight at different times depending on breed and management, but typically between 14-28 weeks of age. This listing covers a broad range of market readiness.
  • Disease Prevention: Good biosecurity, vaccination programs, and proper sanitation are vital to prevent common poultry diseases and ensure healthy flock development.
