Day 3: Birds are doing fine.They started antibiotics yesterday,taking it for 5 days. 3 mortality so far- 1 male line,1 sayed and 1 foreign turkey. the ordinary broilers are doing okay with no mortality so far,they are very strong and aggressive. |

Day 4: The charcoal for heating finished,had to get #200 charcoal for last night. Half bag consumed already,the way they consume the feed is alarming. 3rd day of antibiotics.Birds are doing good-drinking and feeding well.

tasho105: great job bro.... why don't you used big lantern light to generate heart for them. I think the cost of buying charcoal is too much. if possible get small generator to power them light. |

Yhemit:Thanks for your comment and observation... Am just trying to enjoy what I love doing. It's great fun to watch them grow. I tried lantern for my last brooding but they used to go off unexpectedly,may be it's the kerosene or the lantern. 1 Like |

Yhemit:Also Yhemit FYI Lantern is not too good for brooding,the smoke that emits from it is bad for checks.It can cause Crd. It should always be the last option for brooding after electric bulb and charcoal 1 Like |

Last day of antibiotics. Birds were fed with 2.1kg of feed this morning.will be due for more feed by 6/7pm today. Got an average of birds weight of 100g. I confirmed the fact that turkey poults need more heat than chicks during brooding.The poults were seen hanging around source of heat in numbers...see pic 1 Like

As at 530am birds had finished their feed and were already crying out for more. Gave them 3.6kg feed this morning. 2nd day of anticossi. Lost another bird(male line)today-reason unknown but noticed some redish brown poops on the litter. 1 Like 1 Share |

Checked on them around half 3 in the morning-birds had finished 3.6kg feed and were all sleeping,gave them some. Started them with 3.2kg feed,let see how far it will go. Expand brooding pen to 5x10ft.This is the size we are going to use for the next 1 week. Changed litter to wood shavings(@emmachille pls note) 3rd and last anticossi taken today. Lost 1 male line,likely caused by stampede. Noticed another 3 birds looking weak,put them in a separate box.Gave them anticossi and vitamins.
