    Beltsville Small White Turkey

    I don't have any extra hen's right now. We should have some poults and eggs available in the spring for pick up only and perhaps after we've got more on the ground in the spring we would part with a laying hen. Do you have any pic's of your Tom Rs? I'd be curious to see some other BSW's.

    Beltsville Small White Turkey

    Thanks doc. Keep us updated when,where you publish your article. That would be an interesting read. Are there any of the Ames line available anywhere? I know someone in Ca has them but believe they are only being used for market birds. Since your from there maybe you know more? Jim

    Beltsville Small White Turkey

    Just thought I'd post an update with a pic of some of the birds I hatched from J Poole eggs. My wife is very happy with them and they are mischievous. Never ending source of drama for sure. They like to wander off ! Trying to figure out if the one tom we have left has taken out the competition...

    Bacon Too Salty

    I've had some country ham that was like that. Makes you drink a lot of water. Not sure on what to do with it maybe use it in other dishes like others have said.

    Your Favorite Egg Recipes PLEASE!

    I don't have the recipe because I just eat them but I vote for the deviled egg's. That's how we use up our extras. They never last long.

    how long will they stay fresh?

    My wife uses the float test also if unsure of age.

    Plymouth Rock thread!

    Good luck DM. I just finished a batch of shipped turkey eggs and ended up with 15 poults off 2 dozen and feel that was really good. I also tested my first BR egg from birds I got last year From Jeremy. It was fertile but quit somewhere along the way. I think they may be too small yet(eggs).

    Accidentally started cornish x on medicated feed

    Should be fine to butcher if off medicated feed for a week or two before butchering.

    Day 24 no hatch - What do I do ?

    I believe if it was me I'd clear the nest and start over.

    Zipping?

    Up to 24 hours. It could and usually does happen much faster.

    Beltsville Small White Turkey

    Just hatched eggs from Jerry Poole and am very pleased. He packs egg's better than I've ever seen and ended up with 15 poults from 24 egg's. Pretty good percentage on shipped egg's.

    I thought I'd add in here on taste of these birds as I butchered my cull rooster and he was roasted last night. Flavor is EXCELLENT. Never had a chicken taste that good and I can see why these birds won a taste test. I followed the recipe on Good Shepard site but think the temp is a little high...

    Anyone with these birds having problems with them laying in nest boxes. Mine just started laying and are hiding eggs and not laying in the nest boxes. I do have one older hatchery type hen that should be showing them the ropes and at least is laying eggs in the nest boxes so there is bait eggs...

    Well Stan I would like to breed only from my best rooster as he seems to be leeps and bounds ahead of the other. My hen's aren't laying yet but as soon as they do I'll be firing up the bator. Probably will end up with chicks off both roosters as I've only got one coop. Probably building another...

    Your right about these birds not being friendly. My wife noticed it early on. I wouldn't call them flighty but not going to stand around in the open to be caught either. They prefer the brush and thicker places. As for breeding I'm going to use all my hen's. I don't feel with seven to choose...

    I like #43 best Marcy. Since he's the least of your favorites just ship him to me! LOL I'm personally gonna be breeding from my strongest legged roo. He also happens to be the best meat type roo I've got. A view from the back wide set and straight. They look short in this pic but they...

    Thanks for all the responses. I'm not sure how I'm gonna set up for breeding yet other than the dark roo is #1. I'm sure I'll be back with more questions.

    Some nice looking birds have been shown,thank,s for sharing the pics guys/gals. Now I've got a question! Some of my pullet's are showing an occasional solid black feather. I'm not sure if all are showing this as I only noticed it after I started looking at some of the pic's I took. What's...
