Prices of automatic cages to rear turkey in Ibadan

Rearing turkeys in Ibadan require a different set ups in relation to housing and pasture from laying hens.

Generally, turkeys like to be outdoors regardless of the weather, although they do need to be eight to twelve weeks of age before they can safely be on pasture. Before then, they should be kept in a brooder, perhaps with access to a sun porch.

Once your turkeys grow to live outside, you may need to provide them with roosting areas with a roof and to prevent them from predators. Thus, turkeys need the following:

• Access to fresh pasture or range.

• Grass that is four to six inches long.

• Protection from predators

• Places to dust bathe

• Roosts to fly up into at night

• Enough space: 75 feet by 75 feet for up to twelve turkeys

For your young turkeys, their first food should be a high protein ration with around 28% protein (look for a turkey starter feed or game bird feed) to fuel their fast growth. At 8 weeks, most turkey growers switch their birds over to a 20-22% feed. By the time they are 14 weeks old, turkeys can be allowed to find more of their own food by foraging, if you have the room. You can switch them to a grower feed with around 18-20% protein and a few scratch grains on the side.
