Has everyone else's turkeys stopped laying? I'm still getting eggs every couple days. I got 3 yesterday!

Our every other day layer gives us one a week now and the every day layer has gone to every other day mostly.

Annie quit about three weeks ago when she started her molt. Daisy quit a week ago and I noticed feathers everywhere a couple of days ago.

Hey Ralphie, how did your trip go?

I sold turkeys..lots and lots of turkeys. I am down to 13 ( I think).

I managed to not buy anything at the swap, other than 3 feeders.

Was there a lot of turkeys at the sale?

I have no idea i did not go very far from my birds. I was told there were some, BUT of course they all said mine looked the best as they tried to beat me down in price,,,,,

After I sold them I had few people coming by wanting to buy turkeys from me. I think they window shopped then came back to buy once they saw prices and bird conditions.

Did they sell any incubators? I should have gone!

 

[duluthralphie]

I have no idea, I did not leave my little area, except a quick run to Smith Poultry.

I lied to you all, or was mistaken, (I know it is easier to believe I lied than ever made a mistake, so let's go with that)...

i have 14 turkeys left, I forgot to count "Snitch" as she does not hang out with the turkeys I tend to over look her. When the WWD and I got them into the turkey run we looked them over and were extremely happy with what we have left. The colors are amazing again. I have some variations that give e shivers they are so beautiful. That Narragansett variation is amazing and I think I have 2 Narragansett looking bronzes or red bronzes, if that is possible, they just shine with a million colors that sheen in the sun, and an over all reddish/bronze tint. They have that weird barring on the wings and tails. I love them!

I doubt I will have many pure varieties next year which is fine with me.

CYA this afternoon, I have to do some running this morning.
