Day 9,1 week 2 days I placed them on embacox,a coccidiostat to prevent coccidiosis. I will give them for 3 days give plain water for for 2 days and repeat medication for 2 days. I will need to get an hanging feeder for the birds because the wood shavings is always getting its way into the flip-top feeder I currently use. 1 Like

Day 4 I had to put the flip cover on their feeder to prevent feed wastage and the wood shavings from getting into their feed Day 5 I removed the carton I used as bedding,raised there water drinking to prevent them from pooing inside the drinker. I was not able to provide artificial lightning for them at night because there was no place to charge the torchlight. I reduced the hours used in providing heat Day 6 I stopped using antibiotics,I am careful not to overload their liver because of their tenderness. Everything seem good. 2 Likes 1 Share

I went to charge one of the torchlight before I came back the shop owner had closed for the day,which left me with one torchlight and my phone flashlight. Everything went smooth till 1:34am, i switched the torchlight for my phone flashlight,I missed a round which I was supposed to use to put charcoal in the coal pot to kindle the fire. The time space was up to 4hours,it happened because I used my phone to provide illumination so I couldn't hear the alarm ring because of the proximity of the brooding pen and my room. I am grateful there was no mortality. I will continue with the amoxicol antibiotics for the 5 days interval 2 Likes |

I have to stop using my phone to light up the room(thank goodness there was no visible damage),it fell face flat before I came back. There was a sudden light out, which means my phone flashlight can not be relies upon. I would have love to buy the lowest range of beebee jump or sunking solar system but I can't afford it for the foreseeable future. Please can anyone recommend a cheaper solar alternative even if it is just a lamp. 1 Like |

Turkeys are aggressive birds, at Day 2 they have started attacking other birds. I can't imagine what will happen in the coming days. I have to start planning on how to separate them to prevent injuries or mortality due to pecking. 1 Like |

The cripple always chirping and crying. The remaining birds trample on it, had to separate it from a turkey that attacked it.i would have loved to isolate it but I do not have a place to keep it. From experience,it will end up a runt 2 Likes

Turkeys are dumb birds and needs special attention. I checked their crops to check if they were eaten well,I found out they were drinking more of water than eating ,contrary to the broilers which are great eaters |

Day 2 I lost 2 of the foreign turkeys overnight,one happened past 12 midnight,the other happened around 5am(it might be the transport stress or stampede because there was a sudden light out. So I will give them amoxicol antibiotics for 5days. I stay on a farm in a rural area, without electricity, just a generator which we only use to pump water occasionally. So I either use my phone flashlight to illuminate the brooding room or use a torchlight. I bought a quarter bag of charcoal to provide heat,but from the look of things,I will still need to get at least half bag of charcoal Total mortality:3 Update on expenses 12 turkeys @ #3200= #38,400 10 broilers @ #440= #4400 10 noilers @ #330= #3200 Transport (waybill)#1,000 Transport #1150 Charcoal #1200 2 torchlight @1000= #2000 Wood shavings #100 Syringe 2ml+5ml #100 Pos charges #100 Ultima feed half bag #4750 Transport #400 Total cost= #55,800 2 Likes
