Lol ours never strayed far. They were to lazy to find their own food. They liked it handed to them. We clipped their wings as well but they were never much for flying.Awesome. That is what we are hoping to do, raise some for making new turkeys and have some for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Never been around turkeys, just seen the wild ones running around in my backyard and roosting high up in the trees. Was surprised that they can fly up 20 feet to the tops of the trees. I hope my turkeys won't want to join the wild turkeys flock
Oberhasli are not too large and they are good milk producers, they also have good temperaments. Alpine is another breed that you might want to check in to. Saanen's can get pretty large, are excellent milk producers. Lamancha is another breed, and Taagenberg, and Nubian really, they are all good. Are you in to fiber animals? If so you could go for an Angora goat but be forewarned, Angora's have to keep their horns in order for them to be able to cool off from the heat . Never milked one but if you want a funny conversation piece you could look for Fainting goat's ( yes, some loud noises will make them faint ). It is quite funny. The choice is yours, ha e fun finding out more about each one then choose which one fits what you want the most.
Forgot to mention that I know someone in the York area that has several of these breeds. Let me know when you decide and I can see if she has any available and what the price would be.
depends on the breed you are considering,,,all of them I ever had prefer a lean to type shelter over a coop.
Hello neighbor! Maybe we can start our own cool bird flock out here in Montgomery County!!
Whatcha got?! lol
You sure this is an EE? Not a pro by any means, but this looks like a BCM? Correct me if I am wrong.. Been reading about genetics with birds goodness my head is spinning from that!11 week old EE. I apologize for the bad pics but there wasn't much cooperation!
