I think the midget whites were used in the development of the monster mutant turkey's of now days.

aww, Star they look like they belong together.
Alley, they are both supposed to be white. One should be doubled the size.

The place i went to in NC with my new friend was unusual. The grocery store had every single bit of a pig packaged for sale! Want pig head for supper? They had it! View attachment 1431487
Whole fish...heads and all. Shrimp with the body still on, live blue crabs and crawdads.

Looks like an Asian market. They leave the heads and feet on the chickens too.

They had 15 quail eggs for $4. The eggs originated in CA. I bet they were not very fresh. But they were refrigerated.
I got some unusual eggs today!View attachment 1431510
Top left, normal Coturnix egg. Top right, pullet egg. Bottom right, huge quail egg! Bottom left, totally dark brown quail egg. Never saw one before!

Those are beautiful. Look good enough to eat!

Wishing, Its no bruise. I cant take picture or I would.

No, no need for a picture.
I wonder if you have Lymes... some of the symptoms on Misty's charts sound familiar. You can get it without the bullseye showing.

Blondie took over lavs nest when she ran for the babies. So there were 2 babies under her. 1 silkie and 1 mixed. Took the silkie to the brooder.


Oh! So driving past Tsc today (I’m shotgun) I see silkies! They had a little market type thing set up. We stopped to check them out. They didn’t look very good.

Did you get them? Save the Silkies!!!

The Midget White is a breed of domestic turkey named for its white plumage and small stature. The breed is the smallest standard variety of turkey, and with toms at roughly 13 lbs and hens 8-10 lbs, it weighs only slightly more than the largest chickens.[1]

A rare heritage turkey breed, the Midget White is classified as "Critical" by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy.[2] It is also included in the Ark of Taste, a catalog of foods in danger of extinction.[3]

The Midget White is sometimes shown in the same class as the Beltsville Small White, but despite the similarity was bred from different lines, mostly white commercial turkeys and the Royal Palm.[1] A newcomer among turkey breeds, it was originally developed in the 1960s by Dr. J. Robert Smyth at the University of Massachusetts Amherst as a smaller complement to the Broad Breasted White. This anticipated demand never surfaced, and along with other rare breeds the Midget White declined as a result.[2] The bird is relatively friendly and is especially well-suited to being raised on small farms and on a homestead.[4]

The BBC reported in 2014 that Midget White turkeys were thought to be extinct until about 90 of them were found in Alabama
