Turkeys need to be fed a high protein feed - 21% or better. Turkeys can be
used to fill the minimum order of 15 chicks (standard size chick, peafowl chicks
and rare breed chicks), can NOT be used to fill the
minimum for Bantams and guinea orders (turkeys too big and smother
smaller birds). See FAQ and Care Sheet about special baby turkey care.
Cackle Hatchery recommends you buy a
$2.00 Thermometer with your order of poultry.
