I'm doing alright...trying not to melt. Trying to keep the birds from melting. How's the heat up your way?Dutch Chic! How nice to see you, hope your well? Hows the birds?
Ummmm....We could say the same thing! Where's a pic of Barley???Hey Marty & Dutch.
Hope you are doing ok in the heat. I am sounding like a broken record... but would you both puh-leaze post new pics of your birds??
Marty, how's your giant pekin hatch going?
She has certainly come a long way!

Turkeys #3 and 4 in pic came from Julie... looks like all 5 are boys.. making plans to order from Porters next year
I can't find a peepee either. I'm just haven't gotten the hang of molesting yetI discovered (or confirmed) last night that:
1) I can't find a peepee to save my life when vent sexing
2) That my two drakes and one female pekin are actually three drakes
3) That I really need to get rid of a couple pekin drakes
Dang Kevin....are you falling apart???Miss me? Thursday I ended up with food poising so had to go to the doctors. Friday I was out watering the plants and ended up having a heat stroke. However, I do have a surprise. Guess what I got? Peafowl. I purchased 6 green javas chicks. They'll look like this full grown:
Wow...lots of eggs! My bator is sitting in the corner...hungry, lol.Oh, and I somehow ended up with a ton of eggs to go in the bator. 4 runner eggs, 16 pekin eggs and 44 from my flock (if I mentally counted this right). I was out of room in the fridge, so going out for the season with a huge hatch.
Having to hand turn two dozen. Oops!

We'll talk about the girl and the order and let you knowI have an extra girl turkey. I am only wanting to keep a pair, and have a boy and 2 girls I'm pretty sure. Neither of the "girls" has strutted or gobbled. If you want her for breeding to one of your boys, you can have her in exchange for a few eggs from something next spring.I love the pretty reddish color coming in on #4's butt, lol.Hoping they look like lilacs, and if you order from porters next spring let me know. I'll add a few lilac poults to your order so i can compare them to the turkeys I/we have.
Lol, I have too many drakes too. I've gotten better at finding pee pee's, but still am only around 60-70% accurate.
She's pretty friendly. She comes up to me, takes food from my hands, etc. Doesn't bite, but has seriously sharp nails so I only hold her with a hoodie with thick sleeves on, lol or I get scratched all up. She just hangs around out of her cage, doesn't mind the kids.
the parents where the ones sold to us as PilgrimsCongrats Kevin on your new birds!
Sue, it is a neat looking gander. Interesting cross.
Marty, woo hoo! Can't wait for more happy reports!
Exactly. I've been in places where wildfires were going and it's not fun at all. I pray that the end is in sight for all those who have been evacuated from their homes.Quackers, almost is the operative word. I will take your weather over mine. Half my state is on fire, it is so dry... and no rain in sight.
