Since dividing the brooder into two age groups we have not lost a single turkey! Apparently the problem causing one or two to die daily was in fact being trampled by their siblings. The older birds would step on the little ones frequently.
Once again following nature does the trick. Separating the ages is what nature does. Eggs laid at different days will hatch together, usually within a week so all siblings are the same size.
The next step is to move the older birds ( your thanksgiving birds) into the pasture son. Time to design and build that third generation turkey portable turkey roost.
