Broiler and Turkey update

Broiler Chickens at 5 weeks old.

Turkeys at 5 weeks old.

The Meat chickens and turkeys are now at 5 weeks old. We will start to make plans to have the broilers butchered at about 8 or 9 weeks and the turkeys in November.

We had one blind turkey that was having trouble putting on weight and only made it through 4 weeks. The remaining turkeys are looking healthy. They are beginning to make a lot of noise and flapping wings every so often. The fence on the turkey pen is about 6 foot high and so far has been keeping them in.
