They are gorgeous. I just got three sweetgrass poults from porters. (And mottled blacks and penciled palm) (and blue slate from TSC) (and midget white from an auction).....now that is turkey math!
Can't wait till they grow up!
Yep, I was definitely on the Porter site yesterday. All that stopped me was the 15 poult minimum and the $15 each price tag. Ouch, I do not need 15 and don't need to spend the $15 times 15 right now (plus shipping!). LOL. I found someone selling Sweetgrass hatching eggs and considered ordering them to put under broody BLRW but she has been in the klink for two days already since I'm trying to break her.
I'm drawn to how friendly turkeys seem to be and think a couple would look very nice on my property!! (I do not need more animals....I do not need more animals....).
As a side note, I found a "natural" mouse poison recipe and wanted to see if anyone had any experience with it. You mix 1 part baking soda, 1 part flour and 1 part sugar. The mice eat it and then when they drink water it causes some sort of "natural" interaction that takes care of the issue. And they are not poisonous to anything that then eats them after they die. Thoughts? You obviously need to keep the mixture away from other animals as it would probably have a similar affect. I purchased a mouse zapper that worked well for 3 mice, but then I couldn't get it clean since the gross creatures pooped and peed all over the inside and it is shorting itself out somehow. Plus I have SO MANY mice that the one at a time thing is not making a dent. For reels there are about 30 babies living in a nest in my tool box in the shed.....
