They Got Me!!

[CannedMonster]

I went to Tractor Supply today. I shouldn't have, because...they had Turkens!
Chicken math got me! I now have 6 Turken chicks (all different colors/patterns) and 2 free bantams.
My husband is out of town right now
But I couldn't resist them
Somebody help me! Who will take me in when he kicks me out? Lol. J/k...I hope

They're straight run so we'll see how many I'll actually be able to keep out of the freezer.

The bantams I'll keep regardless of sex but I think one is a Silkie...it has feathered feet and dark skin. But it's a really cool mottled color (could that be partridge?).
The other bantam has feathered feet also but it has yellow feet and it's black with some white underneath? Cochin? Brahma? idk...
The Turkens are very interesting. I have a solid brown, a chipmunk stripe, a black with some white, one is almost white with a weird light gray stripe on the back...
I'm SO excited to see how they feather out!
Please let most be pullets...please!

Maybe he won’t notice?

 

[CannedMonster]

Yeah sure if only...
At the end of the day we'll have more layers or meat in the freezer which is something he won't argue with

Good news! My husband didn’t mind! I’m so glad

I believe this last one is a partridge silkie and the one above it may be a black or mottled bantam Cochin.
Stinkin adorable!
Can’t wait to see the colors and patterns on the NNs.

Oh my goodness! They are adorable! I had a Turken cockerel named Chewy (Cashew). Sadly, we didn't want naked neck babies and he was very shy because of a rough past as a chick, so we gave him to somebody else. But thankfully the people who took him (and his silkie mix sister) in are not going to eat him! I liked him, but we didn't want to have him taking up space for a friendlier rooster or laying hen. (We're getting polish chicks soon and I'm kind of praying for one rooster!)

I think they're adorable and beautiful, but whenever I showed the picture to somebody unexperienced in chickens, they would scream, "Eww! Is something wrong with it?"

I would still have my turken if it was a pullet, not a cockerel. He was so handsome, though!

He’s a handsome guy. I hope mine grow up to look that good lol. I’m glad your friend could take him.
They’re straight run so hopefully out of six I’ll get at least a couple of pullets.
