Is this the right forum to ask about raising Commercial Turkeys? If not, Please move. Thanks!

Have fun and enjoy, as long as you don't plan on releasing them into the wild...they won't make it, and its forbidden by game laws.

Raised chickens, turkeys, quail, have a few ducks right now. Turkeys are not real bright. Keep them off the ground when young , the fire ants will kill them. Keep them away from those red chili things that grow on the fence. They will choke and die. Don't let them wander until they get big, the hawks will kill them. Other than that they are pretty fun to have around. 
Just like Jesus, sometimes you gotta kill some hogs. Lone Star Mesquite . com RattleSnake Dan's Shredding Service

We had a few show up at the lease and they were not afraid of us. We figured they were raised by someone who then turned them loose in our area. They became a real pest in time.
