Got to say you married a smart man!

Would love giant lavender turkens too! Put me down on the list if someone really is doing this.

I am most sincerely serious about it.

Hi! No lavs here, but I'm about to put this blue NN guy back with a blue Jersey Giant hen.

He's young and still growing, --- not nearly big as the JG roos but about the size of my BR roos now.

Looks like you are on your way and they look good.

His feathers look awesome. No offense but I cant get over that whole Turken bald neck thingy.

BLue,
Did you decide to stop raising the Jersey Giants? The sussex are amazing, as usual! We got rid of all our Polish (except for my neice's splash hen). Trying to get more focused. I had over 120 birds in mid-july!!! I got a bit buy happy. But now our girls are laying well and we should be getting some homegrown chicks soon. I can't wait!!!

I know. He likes em bald! He doesn't even want the neck tie.....We are only gonna breed the baldest ones. I just think they are....odd. But they have really really nice personalities. They do kind of grow on you.

Yeah I guess they would have to grow on you. My Dad can't stand to even look at one for more than a second hahaha. Oh and by the way I love your signature.

Our Sussex that were imported from Australia were larger than the Jersey Giants. We now have very large Sussex and our lavender Sussex project. The Jersey Giants were big but the Sussex are bigger.

Oh wow, keep me updated? I may be getting eggs from a lav orp x turken from a local member, her cockerels are still too young to breed. In any case, my interest in lavender turkens is a serious one.
