We ordered mixed heritage poults from Meyer hatchery about 4 months ago. The Black Spanish and Bourbon Red were pretty easy to figure out, but how do we know if our white turkeys are White Hollands or Midget Whites?
I know. I know. The only surefire way to know is wait until they lay or crow. Since these are nonbearded, I'm hoping it's a little easier. I'm new to silkies, and a few of them I have a really good idea about. We have two groups. One group is 19 weeks, the other just hit 5 months old today.
Okay so we were given these two for free to get our flock started a little over a year ago. We were told that they were bought from a TSC bin labeled blue Wyandottes. This hen is laying near duck egg sized eggs regularly(single yolk!), and after getting our hands on a gold laced Wyandotte...
I picked up some assorted bantams from tsc awhile back. I was able to figure out all 4 breeds, and the sexes of my d'uccle and old english. I'm having a problem with the sebrights though. I want to say there's one of each for the golds and silvers, but I'm not sure. The golds are about 6 weeks...
