Whelp..... I messed that up too then. They have about a cup mixed into scrambled eggs, mealworms, blueberries, and tomatoes.....

The rest sounds very healthy

Here's my brooder this evening

The smallest and the largest are white Ameraucana. Then there's a quail, a blue Ameraucana, and a buff silkie.

I hope so, my poor roo's breast muscle is virtually non existant, after treatment for cocci I plan on worming him, hopefully he survives long enough for me to figure out what is wrong with him. otherwise I'll have to go begging for a split to choc am roo or a choc am hen. And finding those for sale is like finding hen's teeth at the moment.

Oh I know, finding any specific AM's is difficult yet. Does he have any hens that are producing eggs ATM? Start collecting if you can.

He did. She stopped laying and none of the 18 eggs I set were fertilized. I'm hoping he can bounce back long enough for me to get something out of him. I'm thinking I've narrowed it down to Cocci or worms. I hope I'm right and can get him on the mend.

I'm double checking with a local breeder friend of mine to see what she breeds. I think it's some kind of white turkey but I'll let you know.

My breeder friend, Nancy, said:
"I raise only Heritage variety; Midget White, Beltsville White & Narragansett. Broadbreasted turkeys have to be artificially inseminated to reproduce because they cannot breed naturally. Best place to purchase those are hatchery or when feed stores have them."

I think I saw them at North 40 in Spokane valley, possibly.

Some day I want the Narragansett. But not yet. I think we're in over our heads right now lol

Hi All,

I live in Palouse, WA. I have Bielefelders and Silkies.

I am looking for 6-12 Broad Breasted Turkey poults, please let me know if you have any or have a planned hatch date.

Thanks!!!

They have them at North 40 in Spokane and Cd'A. I would call ahead of time if you decide to make the drive though. They get them in weekly but sell out fast.
