These
birds are considered the most sought-after in the world. They are highly productive, and the meat is better than that of chickens. Big 6 turkeys are real record holders in body mass.
The average weight of an adult male of the Big 6 breed can be approximately twenty to twenty-five kilograms, and female turkeys weigh about ten kilograms. An indicator of the productivity of the Big 6 breed may be the fact that by the age of one hundred days, turkeys of this species stop growing. Usually in such a period they are sent to slaughter.
During a productive egg-laying cycle, a female Big 6 turkey can produce a hundred eggs, and the percentage of hatched turkeys is quite high. Also, in terms of taste, turkey eggs are considered tastier than chicken eggs.

Heavy turkeys of the Big 6 breed have the advantage that they grow quickly. Before planting the young, the chosen room must be disinfected, warmed up and placed
feeders and
drinkers. Further, in the first two weeks, it is necessary to maintain the optimal air temperature, since turkeys are very dependent on it - they start with +30 degrees and gradually reduce it to +22 degrees. Young people should also be provided with daylight at twelve o'clock.
