Lone turkey poult
« on: June 07, 2014, 10:58:37 am »
Having ended up with a single chick under one broody my other one has now only managed to hatch a single turkey poult.  Does anyone know of anyone with young poults for sale - I live near Reading but could travel a reasonable distance?  If not, will a single turkey be OK?  I know it is not ideal but it needs different food to a chick and will grow much bigger so presumably would bully a chick as well - not to mention the risk of blackhead.  It is a 'for Christmas turkey' but I do want it to have a happy life up until then.
