Some of my most popular posts are about poultry and poultry farming, so here’s a page where I direct link to all the posts I’ve written about these topics. If you ever have any questions about turkeys, chickens or egg laying hens, don’t hesitate to contact me at ldurben@charter.net. If I can’t answer your questions, I will find a poultry farmer or other expert who can.
