HI, all,
I've had chickens for three years, and am thinking about trying some turkeys....is there an especially good or especially bad hatchery or other source for poults? I'm in upstate NY. I keep reading that poults are so fragile...is the poult mortality rate higher than for chicks, when they're shipped? We don't want a lot of turkeys this first time... but we want to make sure we end up with a few!
Any suggestions? Thanks!
