    BREEDING FOR PRODUCTION...EGGS AND OR MEAT.

    Same here. I don't have any breeders (that I have found) within 3 hours of me. But I have managed to get my hands on some birds from the best flocks in this part of the country.

    I have had hatchery white rocks. They do not get that big? Assuming the bird is actually 14 pounds? Did you weigh the bird? Jersey Giant maybe?

    Buckeye and Orpingtons are both great breeds! Are you going to try find a breeder? Buckeyes might be a little more practical for the winter as they don't have such big combs...

    Okni have a question... Why ferment feed? I don't get the point of it? I was told by a great breeder not to do it because it causes crop issues?

    Hmm... I may have to try this... I have always preferred not cutting the heads off when I butcher but might try it... I imagine this would be too small for turkeys?
