four years ago I bought 7 pullets "just for our own eggs"..
I now have 28 royal palm turkeys
55 laying hens/2roosters
16 guinea hens/roosters
a pair and a trio of chocolate muscovy ducks..
and I whittles my flock of geese from 12 down to 3.. a pair and an odd gander..
I also have 12 incubators of assorted sizes from 40 egg, 2 sportsmans (200 egg) and 3 jamesway 2940 (2940 egg each)
I only have 1 jamesway rewired and running, though..(I have never had more that 150 eggs in it)..
BUT the point being,, If you have the same will power I have, you are doomed..
Oh yes, I also built 2 whizbang pluckers and a 126 egg incubator..
and I also have 2 drum type pluckers..
I have 3 chicken/poultry coops and
4 poultry yars fenced in. (about an acre's worth
