    Real quick aside if ya can get a turkey hen and have the land for one or two they produce slightly bigger eggs than an americana hen. Also they may be easier to get since dumb yuppies in my area are going after chickens but not the quail or turkeys, only problem is it takes a bit longer for a turkey hen to start producing.

      I do not. I would just check online, there are plenty of companies that will ship fertilized eggs.Incubators are easy to use. I wish you luck on your hunt and hope you get a nice chicken friend.

        We usually also get fertilized eggs when we can, just a bit easier to get the chicks when I’m at the feed store. Anyways our hens and turkey are doing rather well, their pen turning into a mud pit from recent rain aside. They have a sheltered area that’s dry it’s just that about 30 percent of the open area is mud.
