Porter's Assortment

[Stacykins]

Through the search feature I haven't found testimonials on anyone who has ordered assorted turkeys from Porter's Rare Heritage Turkeys. They're offering end of season assortments quite inexpensively. I'd keep a few of the poults and sell the rest locally, since I know a few folks who would be interested in turkeys this late in the year, too.

Were you pleased with your assortment? It says on their website that they will send a list of what is included in the box. Did you find they actually included that list? I'd rather know than play the guessing game! Obviously they could send anything, so I know not to expect any breed in particular. But I would love a variety.

Yes it would be nice to know what turkeys they would have in the assortment pool.
If you contact them, let us know what thier assortment pool is.

Well, I went for it, just in the nick of time. Porter's is no longer accepting orders for the rest of the year.

Let us know how you made out, would be interesting

My poults were shipped today, I can't wait to see what arrives!

Hope they arrived safely. I purchased from Porters 2 years ago and got several types and all were marked and included a sheet with the color codes on the heads of the poults.

Good luck!!

Eventually I will be ordering some midget white turkeys through the mail - how are these orders handled - are they shipped through the post office or how - after being shipped I image they are pretty well stressed out and weak - what do you have to do when you get them - are some expected to die because of being shipped - thanks for any responses - Joe

Well, for me nine out of fourteen that arrived are now dead due to flip over syndrome.

When I bought 20 of his poults, they arrived in great shape and I didnt lose any for a long time.

DId you talk with Kevin Porter to get his input on starting poults-- or read his web page?? He answers his emails.
