Nevadans?

DH and I went to the poultry show in Reno a few months ago but I don't remember who put it on. What does NNPFA stand for? I'm guessing it's Northern Nevada Poultry...?

MyMummble where are you? I expected you to have posted by now. I'm adding you to the OP now, sans location.

Northern Nevada Poultry Fanciers Association. Wasn't that the show we were all going to meet at, then it snowed really bad that weekend and most of us didn't go?

Wow, Genny, Rios? Aren't they a breed of wild turkey? That'll be really cool!

Can't wait to see pics of them.

for a successful hatch!

That's the one DH and I went to. We weren't impressed with the turnout but with the weather the way it was we didn't expect much.

yeah i went too! and i missed sunny and ron. The nnpfa is always posting ads on craigslist asking for members and linking to their website, but when you go onto it it shows that the website hasnt been updated in MONTHS. like it still says "upcoming events: nnpfa show november 2010" lol

Yup, too much snow for little old me - I believe the show was towards the end of the month in Nov. Which is a really bad time for me - flock wise, most are molting

or starting to molt and who wants to look at a moth eaten bird?

I am not a member, but I keep wanting to go to their meetings - South Reno, but always forget and miss them

I believe the Rios are a type of wild turk. I had to look them up on McMurrays site - they sell them also. They are smaller than the BBB and can reproduce naturally (wow that sounds so silly

). I was surprised that the eggs are slightly smaller than my medium sized chicken eggs - creme colored with lovely brown speckles. From what I am reading, they probably will need a covered run - as they like to fly and roost in trees. Not that tree roosting is a problem here - I mean you need trees for there to be a problem - but I do not want them roosting on the vehicles and buildings.



gaited horse I do have mf cochins - two trios right now, with a mess of chicks on the ground. I have also recently purchased a very, very nice sparsly mottled black cochin roo to add some type to my mf cochins (he really is lovely - so incredibly fluffy, he is from show winning parents but has a bit too much gold leakage on his hackles to show and really do well). Are you looking to add to your flock? My MF stock is from Lynne in CA. Did you ever find your goats? Silly I know but I think about them from time to time.

The time I raised turkeys I found all breeds to be proficient flyers (some more so when young) except for the BB Whites. I was forever chasing the Bourbon Reds and young BB Bronzes out of the rafters. My fear was that they'd escape the barn and join the wild flock of turkeys that we had roaming the property which I would call in every morning to our backyard for yukks from my neighbor's orchard where they hung out. Got real good at my turkey call....quite the unexpected parlor trick at parties!

I have some bad news! I came home to a notice from the city that someone was complaining about my roos. This morning I received a second notice.

It looks like my breeding project has just hit a brick wall! And my two roos are so gorgeous and it took so long to find 2 really great roos! Anyone want a trio of black ameraucanas (1boy, 2 girls) and a gorgeous FBCM roo and his 4 girls for breeding?
