Washington Poultry Exhibitors Invitational Spring Show June 1-2, Puyallup Fairgrounds, Puyallup, WA. Just wanted to let folks in the northwest know of an upcoming poultry show which has changed venues this year. This show used to be held in Elma, Washington and is being held this year at the...

Quote: I would say yes, but be aware that you will be in for a lot of work cleaning cages and are going to run through a huge amount of bedding trying to keep the birds clean. Particularly if the climate is humid or it rains a lot. Also i forgot to mention before that roosts would be a must...

Hi Arielle, I have found the heritage type turkeys to have better flavor. I raised production type bronzes for several years before switching to royal palms and have found the royal palm meat to have better flavor and be much more versatile to cook with. My family has used it to replace pork in...

Hi all, I just got me entry confirmation yesterday and there were 13 other cc'd on the email so hopefully you will be getting confirmations soon. I mailed mine on the 27th so if you mailed it before then I wouldn't worry.

10 sq feet per bird I assume would be coop space. I raise royal palms and I would say you could keep 1 bird housed in a 10 sq foot space but it will need to have the bedding changed frequently and it is pretty minimal for a breeder bird. Since the plan here is for raising up young birds (for...

narragansett is right. I dont know what is in deer food but i can guarantee you that it does not have the proper vitamin and mineral levels for turkeys, most layer feeds dont unless you buy from a mill that makes a gamebird layer food. Dont be temped to feed your birds something just because it...

As other have said you cannot expect a heritage turkey to grow like a broad breasted white or bronze. They will not grow to 20 lbs in 3 months. If fact many royal palm toms will take a full 18 months to grow to full weight (22 pounds). i have raised royal palms for a number of years and they are...

I am donating a pair of Pearl Guinea keets to the breeders auction and some nice calendulas to the regular raffle. I am staying at the campground ( on the fairgrounds) and it sounds like there is lots of room there, plus it fits my budget at $15 a night.

Hi all, I have lots of birds available that I am selling and could bring tot he show. Royal Palm Turkeys- some ~3 months old and lots of breeder quality birds ~14 months old Pearl Guineas- will be 3 weeks to ~2months old at the show, several available Lavender Guineas- one or two young birds...

I raise guineas and have found that as with chickens if mean, or aggressive guineas are bred their offspring will also have poor temperment. As with chickens the solution is to cull. Figure out which is the most aggressive and cull it. If the problem persists just keep culling the most...

Close up picture is kinda blurry but it looks like there are almost no feathers on the head/neck indicating it is a male. At that age there should be a spur bump developing on the legs as well. Also the large dewlap (skin under chin) indicates male, also as mentioned above the snood is large...

I currently have five breeding toms. this number fluctuates from time to time. If you want to have a flock and are not breeding for show just keep two (in case one should get hurt, sick, killed you have a spare). I keep a couple of breeders of different ages as I am focused on developing a line...

hi, 26% protein feed is fine, it is important however to make sure that it is a turkey or gamebird starter. many chick starters do not have the proper % or kind of vitamins and minerals for poults. In terms of medication in the feed this is a personal choice however i recommend against it. I...
