I just finished digging a thirty foot three foot deep trench. It took me four and a half hours and I was working in rocky clay. A pick and good shovel are nessesary. You are going to have to dig it 12 to 16 inches wide to have enough room to stand in it as you dig. Watch out for buried pipes and wires.
The maximum recorded lifespan for a turkey in captivity is twelve years and four months. For turkeys living in the wild, the maximum is less than ten years, but the average life expectancy of a male turkey is just over 2 years and just over 3 years for females.f you have turkeys that can fly, their enclosed cage should have chicken wire surrounding it on all sides and top with a wood frame with a stiff metal dog wire of about 3-4 feet tall along the bottom to keep out other animals and to keep the turkeys in.
, Animal science, feed mill engineer, used all sorts of agri-byproducts. In captivity where the eggs are removed daily, a turkey will lay up to 100 eggs per year. In the wild they lay one clutch of about 10-12 eggs before she starts nearly continuous incubation for 28 days starting after the last egg is layed. Usually, when forming a clutch for hatching, a turkey will lay the first egg half hour after dawn and every day like clockwork she will lay half hour later until the last one is layed at dusk.
