Jake Hoosko had difficulty as a Poultry Farmer. He was kicked out of
his apartment for having Turkeys in his bathtub. An outbreak of
mad-bird disease landed him in prison for a short time.
When asked why he tried raising poultry in a one bedroom walkup,
he answered, "Where else could I do it?"
No more feathers for Mr. Hoosko. He has a new venture underway.
He shared his excitement with me in a telephone interview: "In a
hundred square feet I can raise 100,000 head maybe a million;
who can count 'em!" He chortled gleefully. "And insects are full of
protein but low in fat!"
I had so many questions to ask, like who would eat cockroaches,
sauteed or otherwise. Instead I asked, "What so you use for
feedstock?"
"Feedstock?" Hoosko question. "Why I just stopped using the
bathroom and started using the floor. It's genius."
Well, it's a hungry world out there. I'm just glad he's not my
neighbor.
