    I'm glad you got some good birds..out of the same batch I have and they are decent, I hope to get my older hens breeding soon as they are good quality, just have to eliminate 2 of them out of the breeding pen as they are too dark or uneven.

    Quote: The ones I will part with will be good breeding stock but they, themselves will not do well in shows (some smuttiness in feathers)...that is easily remedied by the right males. PM me for details and we can set up some sort of meeting spot or mailing. I don't usually cull for color...

    I do not know who judged...I barely got there in time to throw them into their coops w/feed and water ...then had to drive back home to work on Friday...I was too tired to come back on Friday, so I only arrived after noon on Saturday.

    Hi, I am from Albany, Ohio

    I visited the table at the Crossroads of America show in Indy...I'm glad to find you! I raise Salmon Faverolles (bantam and LF), Bronze Turkeys, and have some Marans, Barred Rocks (LF), and Bourbon Red turkeys, though not breeding them yet.
