Aurora, yum! Nice birds. Sparking of birds....what poults did you keep this year?

R2elk, you weren't kidding about a dark purple carrot. Is that an old variety?

Karenerwin...your doing the right thing. Just hanging out with your turkeys is the best was to develop lappers. They can be so much fun. Had the hose out watering yesterday....boy they love that!

I kept 3 bourbon reds. Only 1 will be staying to breed but the other two will either be sold or eaten. I Also have a young bourbon buff that I'm raising up. Hopefully I'll be able to integrate him. I'm still upset over Sprinkles :/ I really can't wait to see what comes from Porter's. All of you will have to help me decide which ones to keep lol

Cuties!

Well folks, I'm thinking that with the two standing side by side, one's a nari (right) and the one on the left a red bronze... Hoping...

You are probably correct.

All of my hens are still broody. 3 months. Not one Poult.

Gonna TRY and remember to weigh the BBC's tomorrow. All the surplus toms probably 15 or 20 that are slated for camp have really been going at it. I still haven't figured out how they decide who wins. Its like a free far all. As much as they pull each others snoodle you'd think e solution would make it smaller.

I gave a gal a turkey tonight...

It was about 8 weeks old,, She left with it in her lap hugging it...

She told her husband it has to sleep in their room tonight in a cage so it doesn't get scared..

I see a spoiled lapper in their future..The chicks she got where in a box, they are headed to the coop. I guess they don't scare as easy...

Aww...thats great Ralph. A lapper to be. Love it! Wonder how long it will share their bedroom. May even end up being house turkey. But seriously, it's fun when someone realizes how cool turkeys are.
Went out early (5:00) this morning with the intention of taking the girls for an early stroll. It's already so humid I wimped out. Its nasty already.

JR, good luck sorting through your toms!
Aurora, can't wait to see what's in your Porters box! I just love "Guess the Variety"!
