I had to get a tire to use a nesting spot for Red the turkey. Breeding season is in April, so gotta prepare for turkey eggs.

My old flock of chickens..View attachment 2032835View attachment 2032838View attachment 2032839View attachment 2032841

Cool..I like the colors!


But I prefer the smaller breeds to... I do keep some big birds for eggs and meat... I recently found a new rooster for my layer flock. He's a wellsumer...


Do you think I should keep him separate from my flock for a little bit to make sure he's healthy ?. He was advertised as" free to a good home. "

That's exciting. I'll not be getting Turkeys...

I never do really because I can't see being able to not transfer disease anyways. I just try introducing them.

Red is a lonely girl, so I'll be getting more in April too.

Why not? They are very entertaining.

I don't have enough room for them.

I don't have enough room for them.

Okay.
Have you heard of Midget White Turkeys? They get no bigger then a large chicken. They're Bantam turkeys pretty much.

I'll pass...I don't need them.

I'll pass...I don't need them.

Okay. Wanna see a picture of Red?
I'll have to take a picture if I don't have any on my phone.

Five toes is a genetic mutation called polydactily, which Silkies, & Dorkings have.

They do have silkie in them... I found out the hard way that a lot of game fowl people or at lest the ones on byc don't like silkes.... So when I told them my American games have a modest amount of silke in them.. .. Any way the silkie traits are not very dominant. But I think it adds a little character to my birds.......
