Why yes Santa! My Christmas list is a new sportsman brooder or facsimile thereof, a couple dozen Bronze turkey hatching eggs and a dozen blue Cochin eggs. LOL!

Ooh beautiful Turkeys! Exactly what I want!

Just let us know when you are ready for them.

What's the minimum # of poults you'll ship?


Gosh they are gorgeous!


Edited to add: Oops I just saw the other poster say you don't ship poults.... Does this still stand? If so what is the usual number of eggs to get?


Thanks!

We ship eggs in 1/2 dozens and dozens.

I have both the Standard bronze and the Naraganzetts. You do have to watch that the bronze that you get are breed to the standards (25 pounds for young toms, and 16 for young hens, 36 pounds for old toms and 20 for old hens) or they won't be able to breed naturally and could have leg problems the same as broad breasted turkeys. Big is not better when it comes to heritage turkeys. My daughter was in a poultry show the other day. Two toms where over on the weight (not my daughter). The rules say the bird closest to the weight, wins.


My new favorite is the Blackwinged Bronze(Crimson Dawn) and Tiger Bronze. They are very rare and just as big as the standard bronze. Kevin has them and if all goes well I should have some for sale too. http://www.porterturkeys.com/blackwingedbronze.htm and http://www.porterturkeys.com/tigerbronze.htm

Are you near Romona CA?
