The turkey is a very large bird which is also a native species in North America. Its bare neck with wattles as wells as its grand plumage is a very distinctive characteristic. Its name was first used to refer to another species of guinea fowl which was thought to have come from Turkey but the truth is that the specie found in North America is really a different type. There is quite a variety of Turkey specie but among the most common are the Bourbon Red, the Narragansett, White Holland, and the Bronze.

If you are interested in raising turkeys, you have to understand that there are several stages in raising this fowl which first starts in the breeder farm then the hatchery and the last is the turkey farm. Typically, the breeder farm is where the mother turkey lays it eggs and then after collecting it, the eggs are then sent to the hatchery. If the turkey is for commercial consumption, there are several steps being followed by turkey hatchery in order to insure that the farm will have only the highest quality of turkey eggs. Some turkey hatcheries use special incubators where the eggs can have the right temperature as well as proper level of humidity so that eggs will hatch on time. After the eggs hatch, the poults or turkey chicks are kept back in the hatchery until they reach the proper age before being moved to turkey farms where they are allowed to grow.

While in the turkey farm, the hen and tom turkeys are separated from each other. Basically the poults have complicated growing stages that is why an extra attention should be given when taking care of turkey chicks to ensure that they will grow to maturity. The special attention being given to turkey chicks can last until they shed their outer feathers and in order to make sure that these chicks will not catch any diseases while they are growing up, some turkey farms have climate controlled rooms where they put the chicks until they reach the stage where they can survive by themselves.
