My surviving hatch was one RP hen, so she got the Thanksgiving pardon. However, I also bought a batch of slates & RP from Porter's, some of those will be finding their way to the table/freezer shortly. Way too many boys and who needs 15 turkeys! I am keeping a breeding trio of each, so I...

Really I had no idea on Lurkey, until the 14 from Porter's started to grow. It's one of those things when they are young, I wouldn't be able to tell an individual bird. But you have male/female side by side, you can tell them apart. Just as with most other things, there are going to be those...

Out of my 15 turkeys, at first glance at least 10 are toms.......... I'll have to actually count to make sure I get at least one pair each of my RP & Slates. Deb

I picked an overgrown cucumber from the garden this afternoon and took it into the turkey pen. I was breaking it into chunks and tossing them on the ground. Lurkey came over and stood next to me, like she didn't quite know what to do with herself. I picked her up and stood and pet her back...

I feel so sorry for Lurkey. Today we took her out of the pen of silkies that she grew up with, they were her tutors and hatched together (a showgirl no less). They've been together since last May (obviously). She got moved into the huge garden pen with the 14 younger turkeys I got from...

Well besides the one RP that I hatched, I bought a group of poults from Porter's. I lost two first thing, but ended up with 14 turkeys, a combo of RP & Slates. They are all the friendliest things. You have to wade through them when you enter their pen. We recently moved them to a larger...

The only turkey I got on the hatch was a Royal Palm and boy is she getting HUGE. She still lives with her silkie tutors. They are quite the funny group, huge white bird (with markings of course) and bantam fluff balls. She was quite originally named Turkey Lurkey! Deb

I need to post another updated picture of my RP, the markings are coming in SO well! Mine are supposed to ship on Monday, I can't wait! And it's only supposed to be in the 80-90's next week, instead of 100+ I'm sure they'll appreciate that. I had my first chick hatch under a broody today...

The BS are sporting mohawks! Deb

I just ordered five of each to get the 15 minimum order. It was tough though, there were so many I loved. Part of the reason I got is what they throw. Slate to slate will also produce blue and black. Tiger Bronze to Tiger Bronze produced several varieties, including Sweetgrass which was...

I have no idea on temperaments. I just went with what appealed to me and a variety. I ordered Royal Palms, Slates & Tiger Bronze. I wanted a colorful turkey yard. Of course, I'll have to seperate at breeding time. Deb

This is my Royal Palm You can see the markings are starting to come in. Hopefully he/she can't hear me...................when I picked it up to take the photo, this is one meaty feeling bird! Maybe it will make the cut to stay as a breeder. I have poults coming from Porter's a week from...

I like how you trained them to line up, turkeys going one way, chickens the other. Maybe they were square dancing.............turkey trot..............virginia reel........... And Linda the hoot....................I always imitate it as more of a "whut, whut". Deb

I have no idea. The one poult I am raising (the other two died right away) is a Royal Palm. It started getting it's markings a few weeks ago. I'll have to take an updated picture. It's still living with it's showgirl & silkie tutor, along with a group of araucana. Deb

Oh, the rest of your question. Yes, it's a vet wrap. The vet has used red, purple & blue. There didn't seem to be much difference in the sticking power. They were just using what was in the drawer. It seemed to be colored based on the width. Deb

I was using a "normal" color originally, sold as a people sports type wrap. Then I found the horse tail wrap, it was nearly half the cost. It is bright electric blue. Of course I have to supplement with a sports tape. Otherwise Emma just slides the wrap off the end of her tail. I am now an...

I can tell you, the cheapest on the wrap is at Walmart in the pet/horse section. The stuff sold for wrapping a horse's tail is by far the least expensive. I've bought it from everywhere. My Great Dane has "happy tail" syndrome and I've been wrapping her tail for nine months now and probably...

I've finally gotten around to taking an updated photo of my turkey. I set 11 eggs and 4 developed. Three of those made it to lockdown and hatched, but 2 of them had issues and died within a couple of days. So I ended up with one Royal Palm, but boy is it growing!!! Here is the support...

Gotta go A woman is stopping to buy one of my toms from last year. As a pet! Lucky tom! Deb

I haven't looked at the ingredient list yet, are Lactobacillus and the like added to the food? Yes.
