95° or even 90° in a couple of hours. Around or in these brooders,

will begin to scratch and seek for food. 
The same system may be adopted for the sale of day-old turkey 
chicks, a branch of poultry-keeping which is capable of great 
development, especially by farmers. Turkeys do not respond to 
artificial hatching and rearing, and they should be sent in a good 
roomy hamper, in which a nest is made, with the hen that hatched 
them. The mother should have a good feed before starting on 
the journey.
