Evening, finally decided to join after reading post for many years. I am located in upstate NY, in the Watertown area. I have a barn yard mix of 19 chickens (8 roosters), 5 Indian Runner ducks, 6 Narragansett Turkeys, and 3 Royal Plam Turkeys. I rountinely hatch and sell chicks in the warmer months, and plan to hatch turkeys this spring.
Sooner than later I would like to downsize the male population on the farm, by about 7 rooster, 2 drakes and 2 Toms, but selling poultry in the winter months is difficult at best.
I also raised 25 broilers last year, and helped my father rasie and butcher 500 broilers annually for several years as a kid. He was using the chicken tractor inspired by Joel Salatin the late ninties.
