Sally, what exactly are you looking for in a turkey? The BB varieties are great little turkeys, but they do have their issues. Even on a diet and free-range, I had one that died because she couldn't handle the tom's weight (and he weighs less than they do). If you're looking for pets, go for a BB mix or a heritage bird. If you're looking for Thanksgiving dinner, go with the BB varieties. Royal palms are gorgeous birds, but they aren't nearly as friendly as some of the other breeds. I've heard narries can be mean. I HATE the Easterns, they're just as wild as the ones born in the woods! They're WORSE than the royal palms and I would never, ever get another one unless it was free and I planned on butchering it that day. They might be small, but don't underestimate them... They HURT! I hear a lot of good stories about the bourbon reds, people seem to love them. They seem to be quite abundant as well, a lot of folks here have them available (ProfTi and Ayeupchuck off the top of my head). I've heard good things about the slates as well.

well they cant free range, I will make one of those cattle fence panel runs and part covered with a tarp. a nice size turkey to eat at holidays, not a scrawny one as I have alot of kids! lol

I finally got My coop all done and the girls are settled in their new home. I used some old plant holders there were using in their old coop. This coop is nicer warmer. i used see through roofing to let natural light in , and to let them see the night sky. and who knows maybe get a roo one day for a little star lit romance. There a little door on the side to let them out of the coop. But I need to build a fence first so they'll be in house for the next few days to get used to it. AND one of these girls lays a brown egg. Haven't figured out which one yet.

HEATHER ~ has first dibs on my two Dark Brahma Hens if she dont want them let me know if there is interest before I post elsewhere, Not going to breed them now...
LARGE FOWL
One started laying in Nov, she is huge and beautiful, her name is Sketch and spoiled rotten and the other should start anytime as she is getting redder, she is still growing though as she was from Nov hatch... I have four Roos but they seem to have some spots on the chest that I was told it will go with first molt but it doesnt matter I am NOT breeding them now, I have too many Blue & Gold Partridge Brahma, so the roos will all be freezer camp $40 for the pair of hens. and if you want the "reverse" freako hen I will add her and all three for $50. would be a cool brahma project... North Berks CO. I am open for trades, but I am only looking for turkeys, button quail and white muscovy at this time.



ADDING and you can choose from the 4 roos if you want one to go with them! FREE save from Camp!
