Title: Getting started in the Turkey House Business
Post by: BPowell on March 12, 2015, 12:47:38 pm
I'm wanting to put up a set of turkey houses and just wondering if a good living can be made in the turkey house business? What's the average income? How much do they cost to put up? Any info would be great.

Do you mean you want to make money from making the houses or breeding turkeys? Would have thought making the houses themselves was extremely niche and unlikely to ever turn a profit (most just keep turkeys in a shed or barn). Breeding turkeys is a better potential money spinner (i made a little money on my Xmas turkeys last year) but not enough to fund holidays. Finance depends on scale, I imagine.
