I don't think it was me Honeysuckle, as where we get our turkeys from, they only sell them at day old, they don't sell them as growers.
We have never been let down by our breeders, who are one of the biggest in the country.
Sorry you've had a disappointment. They shouldn't have bald patches at that age, but are you sure they are just not fully feathered yet?
Some of ours do still sit a lot, but that is to make up for the fact that they rush around so much, they tire themselves out. Ours will be 3 weeks tomorrow!
Mind you, looking on their website, there is a mention of poults, but I hope its not them!
