Will this work for Turkey chicks? I have never had turkeys so I'm not sure how much bigger they are...

I've had guinea chicks before and wish I had the eco glow back then, it is much safer for you and for the birds plus it gives them a sense of security without their Mom. Just love it!!

Brinsea website indicates it is suitable for gamebird chicks so I would assume that would include turkeys.

I would imagine so. Turkys are pretty little when they are hatched and this is adjustable. If you were brooding them during the summer, I would think it would work fine.

I didn't use mine for chickens. You would have to make nesting boxes and I would say no morethan 3 small or 2 larger

you need to decide what is best for you. we have the one that fits up to 15lb turkey. I purchased one for my daughter and her family, a larger one. you will love it!!

We don't stuff our bird. I think the cheesecloth would be a good idea, otherwise, the stuffing would fall out. The device stands about 9"tall, 10" long and 8"wide. We usually set it in a 9X13 roasting pan. This thing works great. We just used it on a chicken the other night and had the best chicken ever! We used it last year for Turkey day. We usually get a 10-12 pound bird. It is a great device- we love it. Highly recommend this cooker.

I am sorry I have never used this for a turkey though it is very large. I would assume a large Turkey would fit.

The openings along the top are about 2 in apart. My full grown roosters eat from this without any problem. I have never seen ducks eat, so I don't know if it would work or not. My baby chick's are a little too short to reach inside, but once they ate about 4 or 5 inches tall, they can reach. It worked for feeding 9 birds. Now I have over 30 birds, so I bought another one that is about 3 ft long.

No! I bought it for a parakeet and he just climbed out the roof! It is NOT meant for smaller birds!

I do not think so. If chick's yes but not 2 full grown chickens. We have 1 rabbit in ours and he is quite content

if you use the quail rails for this, it should do fine for birds also. I use my regular chicken rails for my ducks, chickens, and pheasants. I use the quail rails of course for my cortunix and bobwhite quails.

How large a bird? It's plenty big enough for my keets but I don't think if it would work for the bigger parrots. I think it would work fine for cockatiels/cockatoos. Hope this helps.

Angela, It depends on your definition of large. Check out the "interior sizes" response under answered questions and measure your bird. I would think that any turkey over 18-20 lbs would be a very tight squeeze.

I don't baste my turkey. I do however inject it with butter before cooking. It is very moist when sliced right out of the oven. This works with chicken also.

I believe so, especially if they are grown. To be honest, we feed our chickens out of it with the guard flipped over, they've never offered to roost on it. (Sometimes I do find it turned over on its side at the end of the day, someone got a bit playful.) I had a couple of ducks as a kid, and I don't see why not. I hope this helps, best of luck!

Depends on the size of the turkey. ~16lbs or less will fit with no problem.

The sizes are by weights of the birds. This one works good for our broiler chickens have a hard time with getting a full size peking duck in it or any larger bird if broilers are over weight. Depending on what it is you are going to be slaughtering and there is a video on U tube for each size cone also promoting proper methods of humanely killing this is how we decided which cones to buy. I would reccomend buying more than one size we are buying the turkey cone next.

Well, not sure what you mean by "small", but if you're talking newly-hatched to a few weeks old, we've found this one to work quite well for us over the last couple of years: http://www.amazon.com/Miller-Manufacturing-806RED-1-Quart-Feeder/dp/B001D1KXGQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417563659&sr=8-2&keywords=chick+feeder Hope this helps answer your question! :)

Not sure about Turkeys. We have them hanging in our shed to keep the birds out.
