    I currently have at minimum 18 hens. Two are 8 years old - a white Silkie and a Buff Orpington. I have two young chicks that I recently hatched from the Buff Orpington's eggs - as old as she is. I think one will be a hen, but the jury is still out on the other one. The one original laying...

    DiYMamma - you are the first one I have talked to that has California Whites! Well, I certainly like these two more than I did any of the leghorns. And it wasn't like the leghorns had never been handled. I got them as day olds and handled every day for weeks. Then poof - automatic hysterics...

    Trim - see - that's the problem. I love the bigger birds too - chicken-wise. lol. I love the Light Brahmas and the Black Jersy Giants. So far, Java (BJG) is the only one who has tried to "confront" me. I grabbed him up and carried him around under my arm for about 40 minutes. When I finally...

    Lol, Trim. Love them indeed! I like all turkeys, regardless of size or color. I had selected the MW due to size and friendliness to people and to not being adverse to other animals being around. If it had been left up to me, I would have more turkeys than chickens. I had even sold most of...

    Glad you got your turkeys, Trim! and an extra one to boot! They all appear to be a good size. How do they seem to you as to friendliness or maybe it is too soon to tell? I do have to ask if part of their feathers have black tips? Oh, and as always, we need more pics! :lau

    The Quack Shack

    To my knowledge at this time, there is no one within 50 miles of me in any direction that has them. Maybe farther than that since I've had several locals say they had never heard of them and I've never seen them locally. In fact, I had never seen a Midget White in person until mine hatched! -...

    Hi @Molpet ! I have 4 midget white turkeys that I hatched from eggs. They are now approximately 3 and a half months old (hatched 7/21). As to blackhead, I also called the farm bureau and DNR regarding this disease. According to them, blackhead is not considered a concern in my area (Western...
