I am switching around breeding pens and have Crevecoeur hatching eggs from pure Urch lines available right now. Not Greenfire at all, these are pure exhibition Crevecoeur dating back to the 1970s when Mr. Urch obtained them from Henry Miller, living poultry history. They are not large birds but...

I started saving eggs from my hatchery Silkie pen in hopes there is someone out there looking for a utility Silkie. The pen has a selection of Meyer, Privett and McMurray parents; birds are true Silkie size, all with correct toe count, a good to acceptable comb, reasonably dark skin, many have...

Early in 2018, the University of Arkansas ended its standard bred poultry program, and severed its relationship with Keith Bramwell, who had run the program. Due to university policy, all remaining flocks were destroyed. The program had spanned some 13 years and included a range of breeds...

In fall 2018, Duane Urch and the Urch family retired permanently from selling poultry, after maintaining a huge number of breeds and varieties for 50 some years. Who out there still has birds purchased from Urch Turnland poultry? This includes people who purchased "special breeder quality"...

Hi, I am looking at the Polish offered by different hatcheries, year by year, hatchery by hatchery. Looks like I might have time left this summer to get Polish from Ideal, but have to choose wisely since I have burnt through most of my "discretionary funds" for this chicken year. You can help...

I had plans to take a two year old Narragansett male to a poultry show this weekend, but I guess I didn't think it through enough. It looks as if he may not be a willing passenger. Only a 2 hour car trip, but I want both him and the vehicle to arrive in one piece. For those of you who take...

Sorry if this has been said before, but but whatever is going on behind the scenes in the new BYC forum web pages... is crippling my computer. The new BYC forums are almost unusable for me - especially message posting or PMíng. It seems to have gotten much worse sinc the advent of large, loud...

Anyone out there have Crevecoeurs they bought from Privett hatchery in New Mexico. or Welp in Iowa, please please post your pictures... I've never seen any Creves from their line (the two hatcheries ship the same stock, or so I've read) and would like to see any recent photos. Thanks very...

Anyone out there tried keeping track of your birds'weight - what kind of scale do you recommend? Standing on a bathroom scale while holding a turkey does not seem optimal.... my scale, at least, which is an older scale with a spring and a dial, does not seem reliable and the reading will...

I have a pack of Narragansett turkeys hatched and raised by 2 mother Narragansetts last year. They have grown up free range in my yard; my house is out in the country with no near neighbors, surrounded by overgrown pasture and woods. They stick close to home (they basically stay in my yard)...

Have a first time broody Narragansett turkey who has hatched out a clutch of eggs, on a hay nest in a doghouse. 7 poults, now about 12 - 7 hours out of the shell. I'm not sure what to expect from her in terms of behavior, maternal care, when she will try to take the poults places and do things...

Anyone have any pointers on sexing this breed? I've noticed a few small differences between individuals; some have long wing feathers, some short, but this doesn't mean anything other than genetic variation, does it? ... and a few have more deeply serrated, toothy combs than the others. Are...

Hi everyone, my Crevecoeurs have been laying flat out; if anyone is interested in hatching eggs, please PM me. I can ship 18 eggs for $35, smaller numbers are negotiable. (* Was asking $30, but I found that shipping was a lot more than I had anticipated, even to neighboring states. Eggs are...

I went down to see the Crossroads APA nationals in Indianapolis the weekend before last - Oct 28-30. I'd been looking forward to checking out everybody's birds, especially one breed I raise myself. To my great disappointment, there was only one specimen in the entire show, a cockerel young...

I am planning to breed a young turkey hen next spring. I would like to have a few eggs fathered by one of my two toms, and a few eggs fathered by the other tom. My plan: hatch these as two separate clutches, and raise two separate batches of poults. So I would like to keep track of who the sire...

How dark is "too dark" for a Narragansett? I have one guy with quite brown tips to his back / neck feathers. Could he be a cross breed? Best - exop

The title says it all. Do girl turkeys ever display? Some of my females get quite exercised sometimes, just like the males, about some chicken or other they dislike. They seem to particularly hate White Crested Black Polish. They will stand there with their necks extended toward the...
