I was amazed with the amount of rock they eat. Mine will feed on starter and run straight to the rock in my barn floor. Eggs and soldier worms are the trick first couple weeks. Love my turkeys.

prices vary depending on where you are and your cost of operating. He tells his own experience, what he has learned, what works for him and where he is. complain about prices, and not have a resolution? hmmm personally I value anyones knowledge and experience that is greater than mine. I would rather build each other up than tear down those who work hard for where thy have gotten.

Hey Josiah, did Joel ever say how many times a year pastured turkeys can hit a piece of land. I thought I heard something once upon a time about turkeys needing two years rest on a piece of land that has been impacted.

+John Paul SMajda , I don't recall Joel saying anything on the subject. The turkeys while I was there never went on the same ground twice in a year, but that was more because land was not limited. Here we are trying to build soil quickly and land is limited, so we may run turkeys twice over the same ground, seeing also that our ground is nitrogen deficient it will not be a issue. Good question!

Josiah Sauve thanks a ton! I was more worried about lingering pathogens affecting the health of the birds than nitrogen overload.

Yike! I’m from a small town, my husband and I grew up on farms, but then raised our children in town.....we have 2 stop lights in town. It’s much too big for us, so we bought 80 acres outside of town. We want to farm again..not grain farming necessarily, but bird and small livestock farming..I dearly want lambs. Is there someone in the network that would help us plan our farm development? Several of our children will be building homes on our farm so not all 80 acres are for livestock. We are confident that we can use their land, and they are eager to have us teach and train their children in the farming life. The babies already help me with a few chickens. We hope to have a community supply. Our neighbors have a farm with beans, vegetables, and are the State Farm for sweet corn.....amazing family! We will certainly network with them. Please contact me if you can help us as we plan our home-farm.

Hi @Rebecca Grider, It sounds like you have an exciting life ahead! I would love to share what I have learned if you are interested. Unfortunately KZbin no longer has a private messaging feature, so it might be better if you have Instagram or Facebook where you can privately Direct Message me, and then I can share more information than I may publicly do here. You will find me @LibertyOakFarm on either platform.

$049 per turkey chick. I want the in, I just paid over $6.00 a turkey chick, with am order of 100 chicks, 30 years ago I use to get 500 turkey chicks an pay $2.00 per chick plus 10$ shipping, I have had to cut my flocks way back due to the crazy robbing cost of chicks in both turkeys an chicken witch realty saddens me, but profit is lost at these high prices when taking in about a 5% loss on turkey an 3% on chickens,, how do I get in on them deals shipped to NW ONT. CANADA. LET SEE IF YOU CAN PUT YOUER MONEY WERE YOUR MOUTH IS PLS.

Arnold, same sentiments, I had turkey's in the early 80's in NW Ontario. Last year I checked and the prices were just under $10.oo a chick at one supplier. This year I checked again at T. Bay Feeds and the prices and selection were better with prices lower. I had great success when I kept them. They had no interest in finishing their Starter Feed, foraging for bugs, grubs, slugs and grasses. They slept up in them popular trees. Was very fortunate, never losing a chicken or turkey to predators.

This is disappointing. The ecosystem doesn't care who you know. As farmers we should be in the ecosystem business. Selling0.50$ birds for 70$ is bad. I see this was 2015, I haven't searched for salatin vids for a while. I used to really like the things he said, here though, he's wrong, and bending in a dangerous direction

I don't understand what your gripe is.... you are upset that he's making a profit? They aren't .50cent birds.... thats just what his upfront investment is. but there are costs of raising them as well. labor, amendment, feed, electric fencing, etc etc etc..
@joshlawrence45126 жыл бұрын
so that cost to raise them you think isn't taken out of that $70..... I bet you were really good at math in school too huh.
@joshlawrence45126 жыл бұрын
by the way he says in the vid the turkeys are sold at $50 and $27 is in cost to raise/ other inputs. the rest after marketing which is even more is where the profit is... that's not that much in the grand scheme of things
