You may want to try McMurray Hatchery. I don't know what the minimum number is that you have to buy, so you may end up with more birds than you want. I think it's something like ten.

I doubt you can find any this time of year but good luck.


This time of year, no

Turkeys don't normally lay year-round, and since the poults have to be brooded for much longer than chicks they are usually only available for a relatively short time each spring. Poults hatched now probably wouldn't survive the winter without extreme measures being taken to protect them from the weather, so it isn't profitable.

Ask again in April. I will probably be hatching some then, and there are usually at least a few that don't make it.

If you are doing them for a habitat, I still have some (FEW!) turkey eggs that you might be able to substitute ... just no poults, sorry.
Email me if eggs might be of help.
