Well I have one hen that lays blue, two hens lay green and one of the blue laced twins lays a dark olive green. So I definitely got a variety. LOL

Thanks, I tell my rooster some of the BYC gals thinks he is pretty, that oughta boost his ego some.

Thanks Saundra, eggs will be in the mail Thursday.

I just realized that 2 turken chicks we put in the brooder 2 or 3 weeks ago are frizzles!

I'll have to take pic's of them as soon as I get time when I'm at home. When do I have time at home I ask myself? OK, I'm going to make time & attempt to quit talking to myself

Oh, and speaking of turkens, I have a black bantam turken rooster that I'll be taking to the Jones auction on Saturday unless someone is interested in him??? I bought him as an egg from someone on BYC earlier this year ... hoping for showgirl, but he's just a cute black rooster and he has a smooth neck. No bowtie!

Awesome!! I'll be looking for them. I am having a hard time not looking through eggbid, ebay and on here for hatching eggs, but I know I can't do anymore for a while.
I want to see pics of the frizzle Turkens. Actually I really want some frizzles, any frizzles...

OK, here's some nekid-red-nek chickens I just took pic's of.

Bantam? rooster that nnbreeder (Les) might want? I thought he was solid black, but when I took him out of the dark room he was in, well ... he has some red feathers too. Not a good comb either ... it's already top heavy and leaning over

Frizzle turken rooster in the muddy pen. Even their wood house has a layer of mud in it. Definitely not a good picture

And then a couple of turken chicks appear to be frizzles.

Buckguy - How did you manage not getting hooked up on this
"road trip" deal today? Imagine there'll be the pie/coffee and
a mountain of BS......guess we'll know later if they actually
accomplish anything.........LOL

Lovin' this sunshine !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Henny, so sorry about your chicks. I got some Saipans from Ideal the week of April 15. The post mark indicated they were shipped on Wednesday and they arrived at the OKC post office after 5:00 on Thursday afternoon, but since my office number got on them for some reason, (a prior order several years ago?) I didn't know that they were at the post office until Friday morning. All were alive when they were picked up, but within 24 hours, 9 had died (among the three of us who split the order.) So frustrating.

I'll probably sell one or both of those frizzle chicks. Eventually, there will be a good chance the eggs that my hens are laying will have some frizzles, since only one other rooster is in the pen with them. I'd take the other roo out, but I don't know if the frizzle could keep up with 15 hens by himself. He's only been with them for 2 weeks now, so soon (maybe even now) there could be frizzle turken embryos being created ????

Hey P&B - I have a couple of trios of adult saipans from Ideal, it'll be next year probably before I'll hatch some babies from them. They just started laying recently, but generally orientals chicks are better quality out of 2 yr old birds. It's because they mature so slowly.

Yea! Almost a mini POOPS !!!!!

I'll be bringing turkey poults to Oklahoma Lightning at the Jones auction. Anybody else want some for $8 each? Bourbon Red, Royal Palm, Blue Slate and Narragansett

I may be selling my black Jersey Giant hens (1-2 yrs old) and a blue rooster too. We want to focus on only Blue Jerseys now.
