Bet she's your biggest... dang, she looks like she has another quail stuffed under her!

7.25 oz

Figured we were all due for a good laugh... glad you all enjoyed it...

7.25 oz

I dunno what's a good size, lol... how is she compared to the others?

just realized that the swing door on the quarantine tractor isn't big enough for a 1 year old turkey hen.....it was always intended for smaller things, like chickens. Not really interested in cutting a bigger hole into the small tractor.

I think 6 ounces is considered "good", however the jumbos have been bred to be 12oz or more. One "local-ish" breeder is around the 1 pound mark!

Yeah. 6oz is standard. My lightest hen is 6.9 oz. 2 eggs today, 10 grams (which is considered average) and 12 grams. I'd like to increase closer to 10 or 12 oz.

Oh, that sucks... :/

If that's what a 7.25 looks like, I'm kinda scared to see what 10-12 would look like...
