A gorgeous calico colored heritage-type turkey that is a medium size and mostly creamy-white with black and rust- brown highlights.

We have a trio from Porters that are very pretty.

This is the last season that eggs from this varitiey will be offered for sale.

6 fresh hatching eggs are $18. Shipping is $17 as I pack very well: bubble wrap each eggs, packed in shredded newspaper and boxed. Priority shipping.

Are these guys coming to the end of their laying? I'd like to get another 10 or so eggs... It doesn't look like I am going to get any poults from my first round.

Rey-- let me know when you want to try again; maybe the PO will be nicer to the eggs this time.

Where can I find out more about this breed of turkey? I looked and I think it's the only thing left on the planet without a wiki page to describe it. I like them, but I want to know more about them before I order them. Thanks.

 

[Arielle]

You can find them at porterturkeys.com THese birds are from Mr Porter.

I did a little searching online before purchasing them and most of the info is on the hatchery sites.

THe hens are trying to go broodie now . . . eggs may be limited for a while. Depends on the hens . . .

Do they breed 100% true?

 

[Arielle]

SO far. The original trio came fro m Porters. THe hens were slow to add the b rown and carmels, but were palm colored early on. THe offspring seem to be doing the same: some add the browns/carmels earlier than others.

these eggs are great. the SG eggs I got are doing great. all but one I can clearly see development and movement, the one im not so sure on. today was the one and only day they get candled. they come off the turner next week.
even if it didn't develop that is 7 out of 8 that's awesome for shipped eggs, especially when your po driver is to lazy to get out of the truck in the rain and says your not home for delivery and the eggs have to wait all weekend at the po.

I cant wait for them to hatch.

So I am not the only one with p.o. problems. My sweetgrass eggs showed up in perfect condition. We used a different address in order to have the eggs taken to a different post office to see if they handled things better. They did. But the eggs were packaged so well it was hard to tell if they really were handled better than the other office.
