Preparing Poultry for Early Market
A Missouri Farmer guide advises poultrymen to market broilers early for higher prices. Leghorns can be sold at twelve weeks or 2 to 2.5 pounds, while general purpose breeds may grow larger if market prices stay steady. Use chick starter mash, add grain after ten weeks, keep birds in close quarters with green feed, sunlight, and yellow corn to produce bright yellow legs. Ensure roomy, cool brooder quarters for better feathering and growth.

Starting Turkey Poults Requires Greatest Care
Starting turkey poults is harder than starting baby chicks as poults often refuse feed. Some growers pair youngsters with a few older poults, moisten mash with milk, and top with chopped alfalfa. Overcrowding weak birds and high mortality occur if many are kept together. Begin with under 100 birds in a 10 by 12 foot house and set hover edges at 90 to 95 F, then drop 5 degrees weekly to 70 F. Add perches early to teach roosting.
