I've seen the opposite of egg auctions declining on ebay. It seems this year especially, there are way more auctions for hatching eggs. I don't see many goose egg auctions. I sell many eggs on ebay but make no mistake, ebay certainly gets their money too. It seems to me when all is said and done...

I would agree with your statement JJRS. Still wondering who out there raises the Giants.

I heard there is a maxima strain where the Canadas can weigh 18-22lbs but I don't know of anyone who breeds them. I would like to get a hold of some of those. Most of the ones you see here in Iowa are 9-14lbs. It is hard to find true maxima giants. The Canada geese have such a wide genetic pool...

Looks better then my furniture :lol:

Sweet! Keep me posted. I'm not sure when my Holderread order will be in yet

So babies will soon be here :)

Beautiful Buffs aoxa. :D

I think you use an Auburn tom on Bronze hens and all the female offspring will be bronze and the male offspring will be Auburn. It might be the other way around. You can probably confirm what is correct by calling Kevin Porter, he's a turkey genetics genius. That's where I get most of my info...

I don't know if just randomly you can have sexlinked turkeys but it is possible in using Bronze and Auburn breedings.

Whats wrong with plastic beak peepers?

Oh no! de snooding? I can see de spuring but turkeys can't kill eachother with their snoods.

Most of the cost goes into raising a turkey to adulthood. Once adults they eat less then a chicken.

Glad I can cheer you up kuntrygirl :D Nice set up you got there.

I have had coronation sussex, cream legbars, lemon cuckoo orpingtons, lavender orpingtons, sweedish flower hens, non molting pheonix, Davis Marans, Dan Powel Brahmas, and many more. EGG PRODUCTION STINKS, The legbars weren't so bad. I want more then 90-120 eggs a year. Color is one thing but if...

I don't want a chicken unless I get eggs and if you look at things culturally, meat and eggs have been the main purposes for chickens around the world. Some where bred for fighting but their function is pretty even across the board. We've bred feathers, colors, and markings on them and lost...

Fowlsessed, I've never known a turkey to make a good parent. They maybe hatch 15 poults but only 3 end up surviving. Anymore to be honest, I can see turkeys being more of a luxury bird with the high cost of feed. I see a lot of people backing away from them because of their size and appetite...

Yeah people ask me how much I would sell a hen for and I tell them $100. They usually don't ask me again,lol.

Sounds like a plan. I never get more hens or even equal amounts in any of my hatches for some reason. Must be something in the water Because I have friends who always end up with equal or more hens. Always ends up being 60-75% toms so I feel your pain,lol

Also Chicken Pickin, I would fix that ratio ordeal. If you only have 2 hens, you need to only room them with 1 tom. More than one tom in a pen with so few hens will certainly bring about fighting which can result in infertility all together because neither tom will allow the other to mount the hen.

Chicken Pickin, I wouldn't go lower then $50. You know what it cost to raise a tom to adulthood and not even $50 covers that alone. I've been selling Lilac toms for $50 and they are just my extras but feed is crazy high. $50 is a bargain and of course to someone who hasn't put the time and...
