I would appreciate any information about brooding turkeys. First-hand stories, pictures, tips, names of books, websites, anything would be helpful as I gather as much info as I can. Turkeys are big and need lots of room. The bigger the bird the more mess they make too. You will have a manure problem in a couple of weeks even if you swap out the litter regularly.
Turkeys smell worse than chickens too.
In an enclosed class room you may have a ventilation problem in terms of the smell. For some reason the smell seems to be a lot worse than the chicken farms. It can really gag you. If you want to show the class how a gallanceous bird lives it's life use button quail. They don't smell as bad as Coturnix quail and you can raise pairs or trios in 10 gal.
