Virtual Turkey Tour - The Hatchery (page 2)

Newly hatched poults are tenderly cared for. For their safety and comfort they must be delivered to the turkey grower's "brooder" barns within a few hours.

Before the move to the farm they are separated by sex. Hens (females) and toms (males) will be sent to different brooder barns.
