Hi rick. Were did you get your Beltsville eggs from?
I just htched out about 15 beltsvilles about 2 weeks ago. Lost a couple right after the hatch, but still have 15 alive and well.
About were are you from? Are you going to keep the line going?
Is so maybe you might want to trade some eggs next year. You know to keep the inbreeding down.

Ok I guess you are getting your eggs from Mr Poole.
THese Beltsville Whites are special you know they are on the endangered list of hearitage turkeys.
I have Beltsvilles please keep the line going.

Wow, I will do everything in my power to see that I get a good hatch. I am a very big animal lover, especially farm birds. I used to work at a chicken processing plant and I rescued a chicken off the slaughter line. I had it for 2 years. I was so sad when she passed away.

Same here, we can swap some eggs. Here is a picture of my latest hatch. And yes the little white ones are Beltsvilles
