Rio Grande Wild Turkey

---

The First Hatches of Rio Grande Turkey each season are sold as hatched in groups of 28-33 that are hatched together. They will be raised in outdoor pens at Bird and Bee Farm until ready to forage at 3 months old. They have never been out so your home is there home. These hatches can be reserved by contacting us. $500 deposit required.

Pick up location one hour from Austin, College Station or Waco Texas.

If you provide us with a feeder we will make sure they are trained to use it before they leave here. Some people let them forage right away and others put them in a barn or other enclosure so they can acclimate. The feeder shown above is made in Texas (All Seasons Feeders - Turkey Feeder) and works well but others are also available from different manufacturers.

Your Rafter of Rio's need to be picked up at Bird and Bee Farm by a pre-determined date. They are easily transported in a cattle or game trailer. Any openings 3" or larger need to be covered with chicken wire or something else prior to coming to pick them up. Livestock Haulers can be used to  transport your Rio Grande Turkey.

This Rafter was successfully acclimated and are doing well. The Rancher even planted a food plot for them. This Rancher purchased them to roam and provide chemical free pest control on his farm.

Others want Rio's for their beauty and chemical free pest control around their homestead. They choose to bring them home to a barn where they are let them out  in the morning and put up in the evening. This is what we do at Bird and Bee Farm.

Small farms or ranches may purchase 1 or 3 month old Poults too, a minimum purchase is 6, they are sold straight run (unsexed). You will find care information below. If you are going to want Rio Grande Wild Turkey Jennies and Jakes you should contact us. 

At the end of the season (Sept - Nov.) we may have an opportunity to purchase older pairs or pairs of Jakes. 

Our Rafter of Rio Grande Turkeys is one of the last legal breeding Rafters in the country.  We let them roam free most of the year so their existence is in Gods Loving Hands. They are here by Gods grace.

One hour from Austin, College Station and Waco Texas

An innovative 2022 Customer has found a solution to help the Rio's get into the trees. A simple playground near feed, water and trees can help alleviate losses during the first few days. Not all customers experience trouble getting their Rios into the trees but this might be good insurance if you put one of these up before they arrive.
