I have someone that contacted me about a few of my young turkey's They mentioned that they have wild Turkey's that range through their property. They are concerned that they may wonder off with the wild turkey's or have conflicts? Anyone have any experience with this? Thank you!
I'm curious if anyone near me raises Guinea fowl, I'm interested in adding them to the farm.
Also if people have had any good success with any particular hatchery.

So we gave...

Ideal sent out a notice about a week about a special on cornish cross chicks (I know lots of places are having them right now) A friend and I had talked about splitting an order LATER this spring. Since we don't have a place for 50 or 100 chicks (any time of the year). But I can raise about 8...
Pretty much incubator you wanted (for home use and hatching small scale not some HUGE thing, a table top) what would you buy and why?

money is somewhat of an option but not the driving force in my decision.
thanks!
