Oldhen - I'm having some serious color and pattern envy over here - they are so beautiful

Oldhen....are most of your birds from Porters? You said Mr. Fluffball was....just curious about the rest.

We may have to make Oldhen the leader of the world or Queen of the universe because of the turkeys she owns... I went out and told Sidekick he was chopped liver...Instead of the royal bird he has been treated as.

All my birds are from Porters, the mottled ones are second generation crosses from my mix, first generation were plain brown. The original breeds were blue, black, sweetgrass, and bourbon. I see I left out a few there's also a blue palm hen, a bronze hen that was suppose to be blue red bronze and my dark brown hen. I have 15, I think.

I originally got poults from Porters in 2010, then I started hatching a few every year, last year I ordered hatching eggs from Porters, I have been eyeballing eggs again by I'm at my limit, so I'm at a standstill
