Keeping turkeys



-Is there a specific climatic condition for keeping them?
-What cage size do they require?

Turkeys require a cool environment of room temperature ranging from 22-24 degrees Celsius. The house space will vary from age to age; 1.5sq ft/bird at 0-4 weeks, 2.5sq ft/bird at 5-16 weeks, 4sq ft/bird at 16-29 weeks (ready for market) and 5sq ft for breeding population.

The spacing per bird should be adequate for movement and staff as well as placement and access of feeders and drinkers.
