Wild Turkeys

[Alliegator]

We have a flock of wild turkeys that are on the property we just bought. I'd like to feed them just to keep them around. Is there a certain product I need to feed them or just any poultry feed?

They like insects, especially at a younger age. They also like soybeans, corn, wheat, oats, clovers and rye grass.

Thanks Jason. We have stocked up on corn but I'm going to try to give them a choice of foods to keep them around. I don't think I can do anything about the insects but I'm sure they can do that themselves out in the woods.

Actually, if you plant perrenial rye grass, the insects will come.

That's good info dinosaur. I have turkeys here too. But then we live next to a forest. I've put out any type of corn or oats for them at times. I've also given them farm turkey/poultry feed. If they are foraging in the winter, they'll eat anything.
