Hi All! I've poked around on this site before, but signed up this time. I just bought an LG bator since our red bourbon turkeys have started laying (and they cost $11 each last year!)
I've had chickens just for eggs for the past 5 years and just last year we raised 7 turkeys for Thanksgiving and kept a tom and 2 hens. We're likely going to do broilers this year too. We're actually going to try to garden and raise as much as we can to save money but also to get away from stuff they put in our food.
I'm also a first year, first grade teacher and after spring break, we'll be incubating chicks in my classroom too! I'm thinking of either trying to get them local or getting some "cool" ones from an auction on here.
Happy and excited to be here!
Kate
