Eh, I think I may skip it. I've got enough on my plate already without learning about an entirely new species. We'll add that one to the "next year" list!

I hear ya, my plate is pretty full at the moment myself. Turkeys are pretty easy, I don't think
those little ones would be ready this year though. I could be wrong and Tori is welcome to correct me
but I think Chocolates are a heritage breed and grow much slower than your "meat" turkeys.
Now that I have a BR (from tori) and two blue slates I am really enjoying the personalities of these
smaller birds.....

Awesome! When are they due to hatch? Didn't look like anything was going on yet. You should let us know when the action starts!

I concur... I think that they take a good 7-9 months to mature to a size worthy of the dinner table. Though the Chocolates are larger than the Bourbon Reds when mature, they'll still take longer than the BBBs...

Now, if you want them for next year, go for it.
