Today we are sharing what we have learned about raising turkeys. We have been raising turkeys since 2021. We currently have a small flock for breeding and also have hatched turkeys. Last year we raised turkeys for meat production.
I love raising turkeys as they are very sweet as poults. They imprint on you. They are also low maintenance in my opinion.

Do you have any tips for raising turkeys?
You will learn, Lisa.
I had one for a few weeks for thanksgiving! Would like a flock?
Yes sir! Always a learning experience.
@milknhoneyheritagefarms we enjoy raising them as breeders or for meat.
Great turkey talk Lisa. You said everything that we would say. Especially how lovely and dumb they are…. Lol.
One of the only times I cry when butchering animals. Love my turkeys.
Take care,
Annette 🌺
Aw thanks Annette! That means a lot to me! Yes sweetest birds but scary how dumb they are.
Love seeing the turkeys and hearing the ole Tom gobble.
Thanks Chuck. They’re always gobble bombing my videos…figured I would make them the center of attention!
Great info Lisa! I still want to raise turkeys at some point. Still trying to figure out infrastructure. Thanks for sharing all of this info!
Glad it was helpful! Smart to figure out infrastructure first. I suggest starting with a couple meat turkeys. Thank you!
Happy 4th, Lisa
Happy 4h Uncle Al!
Great information Lisa. Well Done. Beautiful Turkeys.
Thanks Jamie. Glad you found it helpful. I always forget stuff when I do videos! Thank you
Baby turkeys are adorable.. I love the finger training method.
Great information Lisa! 👍
Thanks Barb! Turkeys are super sweet
I wish this video was out about 2 months ago! lol We had turkeys this spring and it did not work out well. I think we will try again next year and I am going to use some of your tips for next time! Thanks Lisa!
Sorry it did not work out well. I’m happy to helps in any way you guys. Mind sharing what the issues were?
Thanks for sharing Lisa. Have a nice weekend!
Thanks Pete! Have a wonderful weekend!
Great information on raising turkeys. 👍❤️
Thank you Arielle! I’ve had a bunch of people ask so it was time!
5st here to hear you talk turkey, Lisa!
Thank you kind friend! Can’t wait to see that lemongrass war video!
@@YogiHollowFarm The power of BUTTHURT is real! hahahahaha
Great video and information. We haven't raised turkey's before.
Thanks friends! A lot of people have not. I find them easier than chickens the way we raise them
Wow, good information about turkeys, I just subscribe, please keep us updated!!
Thanks for watching! Have a a great day!
Lisa this was awesome! Super informative! I just love your finger training for them with the drinking and feeding 😅the weird and wonderful things we do for our livestock 😂😂😂😂 and we wouldn’t have it any other way 🤣🙌🏼🤣 big hugs beautiful xx 😘
Oh Anita this made my day! Thank you for the feedback! Isn’t that wild to teach them? We never had to do that before. Crazy! Big hugs gorgeous!
@@YogiHollowFarm it makes sense tho! They mimic what you show them with your finger “puppets” hahahaha I’m crying with laughter 😂😂😂
@flowerfolkfarm3553 haha finger puppets!
Thanks for the information! Learned a lot!
You’re welcome! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing
Thank you Naomi!
Thank you for this! I want to raise turkeys at some point. This was helpful information.
You’re so welcome! I forgot to include the egg laying part so maybe I will do a follow up! Thanks Dawn!
Like 26! How many turkeys do you and Ryan raise Lisa? Great watering tip! 25 sqft…that’s good to know! Great info video Lisa. I like this!
Thanks Garry! We have our 3 breeders. Last year we raised 5 turkeys for meat. Since we had plenty in the freezer still, we opted to hatch and sell Turkey poults this year. Thanks!
Thank you this!
You’re welcome! If you have any questions let me know!
❤❤❤
Thank you!
If you deworm your chicken flock every 6-9 weeks , you can raise turkeys with them. I have bourbon reds with my flock and they do well. They free range on my 3 acres daily.
That’s great to know! Thank you so much!
I had no idea that turkeys need different feed!
Yes! Some people get Turkey specific feed but we cannot here. But they are game birds. So game bird feed works well vs chick starter. Only difference is if you raise for meat vs breeders. We use all flock for the breeders
🦃🦃🦃❤
Thanks Cindy! Happy weekend!
Give them egg whites once a day. Soldier worms are great. I can lead them anywhere with the bag.
Great info thanks! Turkeys rock! Have a great day!
I have a friend that swears by raising a chick with her turkeys because they teach them how to use the feed and water. lol, The chicks definitely catch on way faster.
Yes ma’am! I’ve heard that one a bunch of times. Poor sweet dumb turkeys. But I do love raising them
Hello my wife and myself just got are first flock of chocolate turkeys and one of them slipped a tendons any other vi6u can please recommended
Hello. Oh no sorry you’re dealing with that. Unfortunately I have not dealt with that issue. It is related to a deficiency in Manganese or some of the following vitamins: choline, nicotic acid, pyridoxine, biotin or folic acid. We often refer to the Merck Veterinary Manual (we are not veterinarians). Often there is helpful information in there to address issues. Im sorry I could not be of more help. I hope this helps you. Best to you
Can you go in with the adult turkies? Thank you for sharing
Yes I always go in with my animals so they get used to it. Bourbon Red males are fairly calm overall. I have heard stories of a male here and there being a bit aggressive. I never had the issue. We did have two males in this pen and one constantly attacked the other male. However when I went in the pen (with 2 males or now) they run from me and I leave them be
Thank you! Also, can you leave the hen to raise her babies or do you have to separate from the others?
@MilknHoneyHeritageFarmz My broody hens have not been successful hatching babies. When we have hatched we have done it with an incubator. So we don’t have that issue. I originally planned to play by ear because I was concerned the male might harm the babies. But sadly we have not had the opportunity to observe this yet
Aww thank you! Great information
@@MilknHoneyHeritageFarmz you’re so welcome!
Lot of work, I am sure!
Def worth it!
