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.

They should have gotten shipments in last night, so they'll be in today.


*telling myself I'm not allowed to stop by and "just look"

Good luck today on the double!

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.

Start artificial lighting, see if you can't jump start her again.

Thanks, I will give the store in Lewiston a call since it closer to me but Spokane is doable.

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.

Thanks, lol I think I know Nancy, I got my Silkies and Dorkings from her!

I got my Dorkings from her too! She is wonderful! And yes, she breeds Silkies too, so it must be the same one.

I was actually debating showing one of my birds, but I'm too nervous and don't really know what I'd need to do (or be doing). I'll be going with my MIL, and 1 or both kids. I'm picking up hatching eggs while I'm there too (very excited!!!! Bantam Blue Ameraucanas).
