Kentucky IMO is beautiful. Too hot for me to live but LOVE visiting.

Rhetts! It is beautiful! But I will stay here I think... When we were in Newport we had fun but it is too big and vusy around that area for me.

I keep going back and admiring all the babies!! Keep the pictures coming.....they'll help me hold off buying an incubator of my own

Big Bird and I had a bit of lap turkey time again after work....just what I needed after a chaotic first day back at work

Lappers lower my stress level immensely! Best thing after after a stressful day...a hen hug!!

Sounds like Big Bird is really coming around.

I have a pen of Mottled Blacks and Royal Palms. I think some of the MB's are mottled silver dappled (one copy of white gene - 'c', instead of homozygous for grey - 'cg').

Porter's site seems to be down right now and I don't know the URL of the calculator without going through his site. The poults are lighter than I remember the MB poults being, so I think they might be:

Bb1 cc nn
-- or --
BB cc nn

I'm not sure what the phenotype for those would look like.

Bb1 cc nn = White (Split to black winged bronze)

BB cc nn = White

Do all turkey hens go broody? Should I expect my hens will want to brood the year?
