Question by Layla: Turkey raising?
Does anyone know of any websites that give good information about raising turkeys? I’m thinking about raising two of them for a school project, and would like to know what it would cost, what space they would need, ect.

Start with more than two poults, as the mortality rate with young turkeys is very high. If you get two, you’ll probably have zero that survive to adulthood.
Also, most meat turkeys are genetically bred to be heavyweights, and if you do not slaughter them, their legs will actually break under the weight of their bodies.
If you want to raise them and keep them afterward, look for an heirloom or heritage breed instead.
