Hey everybody,
New to BYC. Been browsing the forums and reading. Seems like maybe you can help me out. My oldest daughter (13) and son (11) are in 4-H and the poultry project. They have some heritage breed poults coming today, but we don't know if they will be ready for showing at our county fair over Labor Day weekend. They purchased Narragansett, Slate, Royal Palm & I think Black. Can anyone tell us if the birds will be mature by early September??
We've raised BB white & bronze for the past several years. My husband built movable pens for them and drags the pens to fresh pasture every day; those turkeys grew well & were very healthy and we enjoyed the meat for Thanksgiving and we had some ground up, too. We love raising our turkeys on pasture.
Thanks in advance for any help!!
