A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

Yep.. 400 miles to see Mr T. I want him so badly. He is by far the best looking turkey I have ever seen.  Small but WOW!!



And it is a good thing my wife was with or I might have come home with 2 African Geese.

I LOVE African geese! I think they are just stunning birds. I'd love to have a couple but they're very few and fat between around here. Maybe eventually.

Glad you got to see Mr T in person finally. Heck of a long drive though. My RLS wouldn't handle that well lol

Oh, and orange tiger lilies grow everywhere around here. They're a summer favorite!

I need another hatcher.

The guineas are still hatching and I should have moved the turkey eggs that are to hatch tomorrow last night.

I opened the incubator to move them today and found I have done an Aurora again. I had on poult hatched on the bottom of the incubator and about 5 eggs pipped....... I got them moved now. I have to move the porter eggs soon too,

Ralph,this is probably a dumb question but I've been unable yo find the answer I'm looking for. Can you get NPIP on a mixed flock? Is the NPIP breed specific or will it cover all birds on the premises

 

[JRNash]

And if you purchase additional birds do you use the NPIP the point of origin??

At the swap yesterday, there was a cabinet bator there for $250. If I'd had money with me, I'd have bought it lol

How did that post twice?


The NPIP covers the premise and all birds on it,

Bringing in new birds is not a problem if they start from an NPIP flock. That is why Mr T is taking me so long and why there are so many hoops to jump. Holms is not NPIP. So bringing in Mr T is taking a lot of hoop jumping.

I get the double posts all the time

All of my birds came from either hatcheries,or individuals that were

Ralph...how long do you think it will take to get Mr. T?

Happy 4th ya'll!
