Beautiful birds Ralphie. It's nice to see you back, I think we all missed your satire.
At what age do you normally harvest the toads?

Sorry, as I've only just been tagged into this thread, I have to ask, what's a toad? Also Trim that little polish is stunning!

A Toad is the white cockerel in the picture Ralphie posted. It's a meat bird variety of his own creating. They get pretty darn big, and I'd even say impressive. I'm not sure what's up with the name though.

Warped mind may have something to do with the name

Here is an adult toad... he is three this spring..

The fount is 6 gallons on a 4 inch heated base to give you an idea of their size..

Big boy indeed! Look at the drum sticks!!

 

[Miss Lydia]

I think he’s cute

 

[Muscovy Wunda]

He's a handsome fellow. Do they all have combs like his?

 

[duluthralphie]

That is recent addition. So from now on they all do.

it took a little doing but I love those huge rose combs.
