I have a beef with the poultry club and the judges. They consider Beltsville's are midget whites. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, the difference is size, a tad bit, and the Beltsville toms have the black button type beard. Right?
I was discussing this with a gentleman, and I was strongly corrected!
So I was then talking with a lady that I had "Beltsvills" and may have a hen for her, a young one. In the conversation, she strongly corrected me that I had Midget Whites and she had Beltsvilles
oye, absolutely unable to make everyone happy.
But, I bought them from Murry McMurry as Midget Whites, so I'd assume that is what they are.
Now the teen tom, these guys arrived on my doorstep via mail on July 15, 2009, and I found it to be a riot at 1 week old, tiny tail feathers and parading around and peeping gobble. Now today I let them out to run, eat and dust bathe, one of the B/MW was trying to court another one. It was a war of 2 young turkeys and a Broad Breasted won the girl (MW).
What is the correct way to handle that? Is it not ok to raise Broad Breasted with Midget Whites? We plan on keeping the MW's and of course eating the BB's.
What happens in your back yard?!?!
