Turkey breeding

[duluthralphie]

I know how, do I get one? They're in the UK!!!!!!!

this is a picture I got off a website in the UK. It's the extinct in America original Buff turkey

Are you sure they are extinct here? Kevin Porter has been importing a bunch of turkeys thought to be extinct in the USA.

How soon after your turkey lay an egg do they have to go in the incubator

Eggs can sit (at room temperature) for up to 2 weeks. It's good to collect a bunch and then put them in the incubator all at once so that they hatch at the same time.

????? Is the Jersey buff called the buff in the UK? The website I checked might have mislabeled the buff. Ugh I was so excited.....
