If so, I would think most of mine are on that list. That said, I have a couple (not all MW's) that are probably overweight due to feeding. lol. But the MW's are not big birds at all. I have a couple of blue slates that are approx 23 weeks old that are way larger and my bourbon reds at 4 months...

So what is the SOP for Midget Whites? (asking for a friend :lau )

I am not sure what the SOP is supposed to be for the Midget Whites. I just picked Collins up a few days ago and I doubt he weighs over 15 lbs if that. The hens are smaller. I just rechecked the Livestock Conservancy site and they appear to contradict themselves in what they have posted. In...

Fake Midget Whites or not - I wanted them as pet turkeys due to the inherent friendliness they exhibit. :D My original four Narragansetts always wanted to be close, the hens would steal anything I laid down; however, they were NOT lap turkeys. They do not want to even be touched. Even though...

I will indeed. Jim has had his hands full for quite some time now. He does still have a few birds, but nothing like he had prior to the flooding. I figure if he gets the house done, he might do more on that end.

Just received email from him today. He's been battling all these hurricanes, the issues with coronavirus and work, along with a couple of other things. He is still working on his house as he can time-wise and health-wise. Has some help now but is chipper overall. ❤ I will let him know he...

I have a California White hen staying with a bunch of Midget Whites. Took me a day to realize she wasn't where she was supposed to be (blended in?). So when I put her in back in the right pen tonight, I sat in a chair and watched. I see she found a hole from the pen to the chicken barn and...

It's been 10 years every 8 years for the last 40 years.......

I'm with you. Will settle for winter with no snow or less! And goes for the ice storms and blizzards double!

Both Diamond and Opal lost their tail feathers - and literally looked like half a turkey! So weird without those tail feathers. lol

Yup - it was the time of night - lol. 2020 is correct.

Yes, that's it. And he is a Lavender. And, no, I won't be using him as a breeder. He goes into the pet pen along with Digits and Tommy Tucker Turkey - unless someone comes along who wants a pet turkey and doesn't mind his "special needs". :)

Not that this is at all related, but as something to think about. I have a blue slate tom that was hatched approximately the 1st week of June 2000. It wasn't until last month that I noticed he was acting "odd" and I had started to think maybe he was a tad "slow" or maybe had a neurological...

Bless their hearts. ❤💔 I had forgotten @memphis and I shared a birthday.

I am deeply saddened at the lost of @memphis . She was always one my favorites and the first to introduce me to lap turkeys. I will always miss her.
