I need to know how to get my market broad breasted bronze turkey to gain more weight. He is currently 21.2lbs which is average but I want him to be 30lbs by fair time which is in 2 weeks😰. Please help every thing is appreciated ☺️

More feed...corn...🤣 Mine ate, ate, ate! Never an issue. Can't help more than that. Haven't raised them in years though. Plus never for show.

Well they can only gain so much, so fast. The body tissue has to form and it just takes time. 4.5 # a week is a lot for a bird. That's more than most goats or lambs do in a week....

I'm thinking it's not gonna happen 🥴 hoping for the best. You'll possibly get 2-3# if that, in 2 wks.
