The Cost of Raising Turkeys
In the Spring of 2012, we decided to raise turkeys for the first time. It was a great experience, but cost more than we expected. Here’s the run down on our expenses.
2013 Turkey Mama Hatch
Our turkey hen laid eggs under a fir tree. She was very well camouflaged & it took us awhile to find her.
2013 Turkey Hatch
Hatching turkeys wasn’t in our immediate plans, but then Farmer John found where our year old turkey hen has been laying her eggs. We could have just left them for some critter to eat or we could see if any would hatch. We chose to try hatching them.
