Foreign Turkey - 12 Weeks Old Highlights

  • Growth & Maturity: Turkeys typically reach market weight between 14 to 28 weeks of age, depending on the breed and desired size. They require a balanced diet to support rapid growth and development.
  • Housing & Space Needs: Poultry housing should provide adequate ventilation and protection from predators and extreme weather. Turkeys need sufficient space to move freely and avoid overcrowding, which can lead to stress and disease.
  • Dietary Requirements: Young poults require starter feed with higher protein levels. As they grow, their diet can transition to grower and finisher feeds, formulated to meet their specific nutritional needs at different life stages.
  • Brooding Period: Newly hatched turkey poults need a warm, draft-free environment called a brooder. Heat lamps are typically used to maintain a temperature of around 95-100°F for the first week, gradually decreasing it over subsequent weeks.
  • Seasonal Considerations: While turkeys can be raised year-round, their growth rate can be influenced by ambient temperature. Providing appropriate shelter is crucial to manage heat and cold stress.
