How can i get some of these eggs? I really need this particular variety for my homestead.This thread is for those that plan to raise toads.
As I have said is several threads I am about ready to start selling toad eggs. I will be selling them on the Buy/sell ad on BYC. I will lay the terms down there.
I want people to try and make this a self sustaining meat bird.
I do not think you will need to limit feed on the toads like those of you that have tried to raise CX's have done. I do not limit feed, however, I do occasional let mine go hungry for a day to use extra fat up.
You can raise them however you want. My dream for this site is for us to discuss how they are growing problems and so forth.
To me the Toad is the perfect meat bird. For some of you this is a re-hash for others it will be new, so all my BYC friends that have seen these pictures just hang n there.
I really want to have more people try to make these sustainable. I would prefer you not process all the Toads you get this year but try to over winter them to get more toads. I have only eaten a couple roosters so far.
I am interested in how they do in different climates. I would like to see them go to some NPIP places so I could get some back if I need to.
Here are some pictures:
