That's a great idea! My mom has an old one. I use mine for my business or I would use my own. Hmmmm..... I will have to see if I can get her to give it up....

I keep 2 incubators in my bedroom. I currently have one one my dresser and one on my nightstand. The one on my nightstand is in the process of hatching chicks, one BCM hatched about half hour ago and 3 silkies have pipped yay.

we had 3 foam bators running non-stop last year for 6 months
& yes they were everywhere

My slate poults go for $15 each at hatch.

these were at the chicken swap
& they sold out fast
i hope to have some to offer myself this year

I only sell poults from home & usually have a waiting list. I'll have slates & palms both this year. Looking to add some more colors as well.

Thank you. The female is laying eggs right now. I hope they continue into the spring. I want to sell some poults from them.

My slate hens laid Feb-Sept this year. I was selling eggs & poults both. They did really well for being in Ohio's nasty weather.

That is great to hear! I am in Indiana so our winters are the same.

I know someone that has a house turkey. They aren't bad as pets. They will follow you around . If you get up, they will get up. Her turkey liked toes. My turkeys seem to like hair. They like to pick at imaginary things on your person.

You could try ordering XL or XXL chicken diapers...I almost ordered for a sick cockerel that lived in the house...he was a wonderful bird, but finally passed...the only thing I did NOT like about him being inside was that I swear a chicken poops every 15 minutes (or more)!! Husband and I agree that we'd like a house turkey, but right now, 3 cats and 3 dogs make it too crowded.

A few pictures of my turkeys. All are from a cross between a royal palm and a royal palm/bourbon red. Most of the young toms are going to be killed soon, there's just too many and their sparring is getting to be bloody.
