that falls under pets that's one thing that I understand  people pay a lot for pets. the dozen I paid fifty for I drove a 160 miles round trip to get I would not trust shipping something so expensive . from a business point its hard to recover your investment you could end up with one or none. best case your marketing egg at $3.50 per dozen or organic at $7.50 which is hard to get. SC  will back me up here I read his post. the money pit gets deeper and deeper .Walnuthill might be making a profit hope so I see a major investment there. Few people really make a profit on chickens. I must or they are gone . I will keep enough for eggs for the family .the chicken coops will be refitted for bottle calves . Btw no one on this thread is dumb except maybe me I thought how hard could it be if a chicken can hatch an egg so can I the hard part was getting my butt in the nest  and it only got worse from there. I'm hoping for a three year turn around. this thread has helped me a lot I now use a incubator  sorry didn't think once again how much people love their pets


I wish I could find me some bottle calves right now! Cattle prices are insane!

Pullet for sure :thumbsup
Thank goodness my wife is along for the ride with me. She enjoys it as much as I do, and I had a serious chicken math malfunction. I said no more breeds this year. That was before the BCM and Ameraucana. Now I'm trying to figure out where I will build the olive egger coop. And the coop for the second line of BCM. And the coop for the second line of Ameraucanas...

Someone help me, please:hit


Well, it could be worse... At least my addiction is chickens. The rest of the men in my family like meth :gig


That's great your wife is on board. DH doesn't like animals. I keep asking him why he married a vet tech then!?!?
 
Turkeys are SO much more interactive than chickens.  They are more curious, friendlier, more talkative.  They will greet you because they are glad to see you, not because they think you have a handful of treats.  As babies, they are cuddly and clingy yet social with their own kind.  As adults, they will gladly sit outside your door and wait for you to come visit, or would be just as happy to come inside and sit on the couch and snack on popcorn with you.  You can mix many different ages of turkeys in the same pen and with few exceptions they all get along.  You can even bring in new flock members and it generally goes very well.  Plus they are noble, agile, stately birds with beautiful colors and great foraging/free ranging skills.

Need more reasons?

If we swap eggs in spring, I'll send you some turkey eggs.  They can eat what chicks eat and can grow up with chicks as well.  


I might some turkey eggs from you in spring as well.

@GA get him girl!!!
