Poult pictures from the late nests of Rosabelle, Pretty Girl, and Two-Toes. Have two poults left (sold a few to offset costs) that hatched with a pattern similar to a wild type except the black parts replaced with blue.

How do you guys like this new variety? I thought about changing the black to blue.

I haven't named this variety yet.
Still working on the nuances of the coloring.

Is it related to the Harvey Speckled you showed us earlier? He is very handsome!

I could easily see Memphis doing this with her girls! We always joked about doing it with Daisy. My turkey girls definitely aren't tolerant enough to do it! I miss her . I hope Daisy and the other girls are still living the spoiled life though I know they could never be as spoiled as they were before.

Here is a yearling hen for consideration. She is just finishing her molt. Very early, too, because she started molting due to how hot it got!
Top pic is better color represented for her. She raised a few poults this year, did very well as a first timer.

Question! My poults are 14 weeks old now, am I able to switch them to the adults 20% all flock feed? I ran out of my 24% grower and I would prefer to not have to order/ship another bag again, but I will if they aren't really ready for it yet lol.

Yes you can switch over they really only need the 28% to 30% for about 8 weeks and the 24% to about 12 weeks. I feed 28% game bird starter for 12 weeks and 24% game bird grower from then on. But I supplement feed from 12 weeks on with garden veggies and farm grains spilled from harvesting, and ground fall apples, pears, wild grapes etc.. All considered treats so I use the higher 24% game bird grower offered 24/7 and free range to make up for the lower protean % of treats.
