Hi! I recently ran across a hatchery site selling sexed turkey poults, Valley of the Moon Turkeys. It is the ONLY site I have seen offering heritage breeds sexed. Is there any other company that does? My difficulty is that I need more hens, not toms, and by the time I am able to identify their...

Hi, I just started raising chicks a week ago. I ordered 6 hens from MPC, but 3 died so now I am looking to buy more. The lady I found in my town that will sell to me doesn't sex them... and I've been pretty stubborn about only wanting hens. But I'm thinking about just going with it and seeing...
