Feeder and drinker set up

Adequate access to feed and water is essential to raising healthy turkeys. Be sure there are enough feeder and drinkers at a height that is easy to access for the birds.

Drinker types

Bell Drinker

Nipple Drinker

The height of the top lip of the feeder and the bottom of the drinker should be the same height as the turkeys back. Poorly adjusted equipment can lead to a loss of water, wet litter, and under consumption of feed and water.
