Gibsons Raise Turkeys and Chickens for Profit
The Gibsons sold turkeys for Thanksgiving and Christmas at 37 cents a pound after buying them in April and May, then diversified with 850 white leghorn hens producing $3,200 in eggs last year. They bought 1,500 day-old chicks, 10 weeks old sold roosters for fryers earning $455, kept 711 pullets for $711, totaling $1,166 from the chicks, with total chick and feed costs $4,180 yielding a net profit of $686. Dr. Gibson says turkeys are the easiest profit as they raise themselves.
