Re: source of turkey poults?

[Guest guest]

Check with your local feed mill, many of them will have a poultry supply source

that you can order birds from and have them delivered directly to the mill.

Murray is spendy. Also try craigslist, you may have to get heritage breeds but

they taste yummy too!

Murray McMurray hatchery website, and there is a minimum order of 15 birds,

which is more than we can handle right now. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a

source where we could buy just 3 or 4 poults. I am in the Twin Cities area for

another month, and then will be in the Albert Lea area for the growing season.

Thanks, . We actually are hoping for heritage breeds. Nothing on craigslist

right now, but I'll keep looking. Thanks for the advice. Not sure about our feed

mill, once we get down to the farm I'll look into that, too.

Hey ,

If you are looking for heritage poults I may be able to help you out. I am

going to get my butcher turkeys from the Amish up here and raise up a flock of

heritage turkeys for my own fun and probably a few extra for butcher. In the

next month or so I will manage to have found who I will buy from and get either

eggs or poults, if you want some I can get extra. I have not decided what breed

or breeds I want yet--so many to choose from! I do know there are 2 good

breeders who do advertise on craigslist each spring.

Also check out the swaps--you can get some good deals if you look hard enough.

, where are you located? That might work out really well. Thanks for the

offer.

What do you mean by swaps? Some sort of livestock swap?

Thanks,
