I'm a untechnicalized "chicken farmer"....still cart feed and water in buckets and collect eggs in my hat. So if you would enlighten me on this set up, please...
Pic #3...
The red/white things closest to the camera....feeders? Then theres another row of green things behind that....waters? I assume the same things are in the back of the pic also? Then there are what appear to be red 5 gal. buckets full of something?
Everything is suspended from the cieling I noticed. So you switch from brooder feeders to grower feeders at a certain age? How much feed do these critters go through at different ages?
What made you decide to go with turkeys and not chickens? Is there a lot of labor involved, could a guy run a broiler operation as a side business of a dairy?
Well, we got birds. (pics)
