Yes you are right on point with these tips and they are good steps to follow when trying to set up a turkey farming business.

To add to your excellent blueprint for turkey farming business, I think one very important thing that one should have in place is to have the nice environment for the farming.
It must be conducive, favorable and safe for your animals. I know of people who detest turkey and may not be happy when they find out you harbour turkey. There are also animals that cannot co habit with turkey. So one must be able to know and get the necessary knowledge on these and put things in place.

And also the health of the animals must be monitored. There was a time I personally farmed turkey and due to my negligence about their health, I woke up one fateful morning and found out that the biggest of my turkeys which I placed much price on was lying dead.
