My turkeys are laying really well and fertility is excellent. I will include at least one extra egg
The Blue Slate variety is thought to have been derived from the black turkey known as the Spanish Black in the United States and the Norfolk Black in England. The Slate or Blue Slate variety is named for its color, which is solid to ashy blue over the entire body. The flecks throughout are to be black. The Standard weight for a young tom is 23 pounds and 14 pounds for a young hen. About half of my flock is the the lavendar or self blue color, and the rest of the flock is a little darker with the black flecks. Occasionally, a black spanish poult will hatch from blue slate turkeys. The blue slate turkey was derived from the Black Spanish turkeys.
I ship priority mail, and take boxes directly to the Oklahoma City Airport Post Office, where they fly priority mail daily. We pack each egg individually, with napkins & bubble wrap, then bundle the eggs together with tape, in the middle of the box then surround the eggs with lots more bubble wrap. We use the largest priority box available thru the post office, to ensure the best survivability of the eggs.
We participate in the NPIP program.
