Has anybody had experience with California hatchery ? They have a minimum order of 5 turkeys, which is all I need. Craigslist is bare of turkeys.
I am specifically looking for eastern wilds. I am aware they require a permit.
Just looking for a hatchery that has a small minimum order.
Thanks!
Wow, that's a heck of a difference! I will be watching for the feather change. Hopefully I won't have so many by that time, I'll have to sell a few of my for sure females...
Thank you so much :)
This is the one I'm not sure on... Of course, it wouldn't get close enough to me to get good photos.
Tonight when they're all roosting I'm going to try to take a few group pictures.
I don't mean to sound dumb, but I can't see much of a difference in their feathers. Can someone post the obvious...
Individual pictures of all of them, probably won't happen... I can't tell them apart to tell who I got photos of and who I didn't... The only time I can't catch them is at night when they're roosting. The problem with a cellphone camera is, its 22mp but once I zoom or crop, I lose ALOT of the...
I can't attempt to get better photos. Maybe not as good as you, I only have a 22mp cellphone camera.
Do you want better headshots? And I can try to get their feathers up close.
My thing is, I don't want them all. I had to order the minimum of 15. I sold a pair of royal palms already, they're very obvious though when it comes to sexing. I'd like to get rid of all but a trio of the reds. Which is why I'd like to get it figured out.
This is my first time with turkeys, I have 9 bourbon reds and a pair of royal palms. I *think* I have 2 maybe 3 male BRs and the rest are females... Not the best of photos, but can anyone please help and tell me what they think?[/IMG]
I knew they have no feathers, but my royal palms just have pink heads. The bourbons have pink, but then this gray on them. Good to know its normal though.
I was watching my bourbon red turkeys, they're approximately 2 and a half months old, I noticed they have Greg skin on their heads along their feather line... Is this truly their skin? Or is it from their feathers falling of?
Not the best of photos, hope they work!
I was curious as to how they had this special, because when I was ordering turkeys, I didn't have the option of male or female. So how are they selling just males?
Hey all, this is my first year with turkeys. I ordered the heritage breed mix off of cackle, and only lost as babies. Everyone tells me I must've got lucky, because they're fragile babies. I have I have 9 bourbon reds, and 4 royal palms. 2 royal palms are clearly males. They started fanning out...
I ordered mine from cackle hatchery. So far I am please! They are just over a month old. You need to look at different breeds and see which would suit you best, like stated above, research! Most hatcheries you there is a minimum order. Cackles is 15. Now I know what you're thinking 15 is a lot...
From my understanding with blackhead, you either have it, or you don't. You should be able to get your soil tested, its more apt to be in humid, more wet or muddy areas. You could probably call around your local USDA office and find out if its in the area.
I have 9 and they free range, have never shown aggression towards humans, but over the past month have been horribly aggressive to all of my chickens. There will be 2 hanging on to a chicken as it tries to run away.
