I started last year with eggs from a local guy..... had terrible hatch rates.... kept a few for breeders and this year my hatch rates, with me keeping the parent stock, are Much better! This last hatch I started with 18 eggs, had 2 that didn't start, went into lockdown with 16 and hatched 13.... very happy!
Check your local craigslist..... or find someone here on byc that is close to you. My turkeys are all mixed color varieties, ok so my DD is keeping black ones for her 4-h project..... but we have some narragansett, slate, standard bronze, chocolate, and of course the black.
