- Setting Up A Pastured Turkey Brooder - Homestead Farm
Today we are cleaning out our brooders and setting them up for our new pastured turkeys that will be arriving on the farm in a few days.
We clean out all the old shavings, add new shavings, add lights and feeders and drinkers for the new turkey poults. All the old shavings and waste is added to our growing compost pile that we'll use for garden soil later this year.

I'm sure your garden will thrive this year!
Hope so. That’s some good looking dirt.
I got turkeys coming in April. Great video!
Awesome. Good luck with them. Thanks for watching
We have 50 chicks coming in week of Feb 15th
Good deal! It’s a sign of spring.
You just use a 1/4 inch chicken wire and sift it into the pure compost
Good idea. Haven’t thought about that.
A lot of your animal bones can be dried and grinded into bone 🦴 meal to super power your compost
Another good idea. Thanks
The compost looks great! I love making compost out of deep bedding. Makes great stuff.
Thanks. All our bedding material goes in there. Great combo of green and brown all in one. Love your channel and what you are doing. Good stuff! Appreciate y’all watching
@@SheratonParkFarms I'm doing turkeys for the first time this year. Ours will be here in May. So I get to follow your lead. I would love to come out to yalls farm and meet you if at all possible. I live in Germanton about 15 minutes North of Winston-Salem. Not too far from you. Also I maybe doing some broiler chickens in the summer/fall with a buddy and would like to pick your brain about that.
Awesome! Good luck on the birds. Would love to have you out and exchange some ideas.
I am a little envious of the ability to start brooding outside. We have to have our brooders in the building just to keep them warm. It's so exciting to see how you have expanded this past year.
Thanks. I’ll put an old blanket over the top at night if it’s going to be really cold. Helps to hold the heat in. I’d rather have them inside but don’t really have a good place to put them. Plus I like having some sunlight available for them. Thanks for watching
Love your compost,
Nice job!
Thanks. Excited to put it to use.
Woohoo your up early! lol
Every morning!!! Early to bed, early to rise and all. Not sure why I’m still sick, poor and dumb. 🤣🤣🤣
@@SheratonParkFarms us too us too!
Baby turkey, chicks, lambs and pigs, but no baby chuck😂
That ship has already sailed and he will be 21 in July.
@@SheratonParkFarms lucky you. Last 2 of 6 still here! lol
Love the brooders. I'm using large totes right not (small scale homestead) & I have used a large plastic stock tank. I'm thinking about turning one of my outside wildlife enclosures (I'm a wildlife rehabber) into a brooder room with those type brooders built inside. I see it as double protection from any possible predator issue.
I could almost smell the compost. I'm crazy. I love the smell of good dirt & earth 😁👍
Awesome. Use what works. Doesn’t have to be fancy at all. Great idea on the repurpose. Thanks for watching
Very nice setup! What time of year do you find your customer base starts wanting turkey?
Good luck in 2021 season!
We could sell ground turkey all year long. whole birds are more popular around Thanksgiving and Christmas but ground does well anytime.
is it possible to make the broader bottom on a swivel, so you could unlatch it at the front, and have it slide down into your tractor bucket? save the back a bit?
Good point. Like a flip down front so I don't have to reach over in to the brooder. I like that idea.
I’m intrigued by your brooder being outside for the most part. What kind of minimum outdoor temperatures are you using your brood era where they are? I see they are somewhat protected, but still outside. What is the lowest outside temperature you run your brooder in?
Really don’t have a minimum. If it is going to get really cold, say below 30, I’ll put an old blanket or quilt over the top. It helps to hold the heat in and stays nice and toasty.
How many birds can you put in a brooder that size?
I’ve had as many as 100 in there but they didn’t stay for long. 60 is comfortable for a few weeks but you have to keep plenty of shavings on hand.
@@SheratonParkFarms ya keeping them dry is the biggest thing
Did you find out what grinder you use?
Saundra is going to look today. Send me an email so I’ll remember to let you know. Chuck@sheratonparkfarms.com
The brand on it is magic mill. Works good but we are going to need a bigger one this year. Took a lot of time to grind what we needed.
I’m thinking about building a Ohio brooder. Any thoughts. Thanks
I don’t have any experience with them personally. Folks that use them really like them.
What hatchery you get turkeys from this early?
Hoover Hatchery. hoovershatchery.com/shop_now.html?gclid=CjwKCAiA9bmABhBbEiwASb35V0pMyS6zxEb5sGcv_nn-66YZWleXLXXbrPago5yra2I0ybChNc1r4hoCEjkQAvD_BwE
