Turkey House Plans - What You Need To Know Before Deciding On A Turkey House

So you have been raising a few turkey poults in
the backyard for your own family's consumption.
Now you want to take your turkey farming project
to the next level and raise more than what your
family needs. How exactly do you scale
up? What do you do now? The first thing you
need to seriously think about is how to come up
with turkey house plans.

From this point on, you should be ready to have
room for adult turkeys, both males and females,
and provide them with an environment that is
conducive to reproducing and raising their own
babies. If you have been into turkey
poult-raising, you will find the next level
easier because there is not a lot of difference
from what you are currently doing.

Deciding on the best turkey house plans are an
important factor in the success of your turkey
raising project. Most turkey house plans will
have provisions for heat lamps, which regulate
the temperature in the breeding space. If you
are looking at several plans, it is recommended
that you choose one that is scalable. This way,
you can scale it up should you decide later that
you want more turkeys, or scale it down, if you
want to downsize your stock.

Turkey house plans typically come with an
accurate list of the materials that you need.
For best results, stick to the list of materials
unless you can make knowledgeable alterations to
the plan. For example, purchase the required
length of wood, as well as the required number
of meters of meshed wire fence. The roof is
something that you can have flexibility with.
You can pretty much use any material of your
choice for the roof, as long as it provides
protection to the turkeys against exposure to
the elements.

Finally, the typical turkey house plans should
also have areas for males and females to breed.
The breeding space should be comfortable enough
to accommodate turkeys for the week-long
breeding period. After the breeding period, the
females will need a nesting box to lay their
eggs in. The nesting box should be big enough to
fit the nesting turkeys, as well as small enough
to protect the eggs as they are laid one per
day. It normally takes a week to fill the
nesting box with eggs. After the week-long
laying of eggs, you have the option to take the
eggs away to incubate them, or leave them there
for their mothers to warm until they hatch.

If you feel you still need guidance on turkey
house plans, consulting existing turkey owners
and farmers will certainly be a big help.
