Quote: Holy smokes-- 18% is for chicks. I fed my BBW 22% and they did fine. I'm now trying to find 27%-- no luck here.

Definitely get the higher % asap.

Really????

Yes, I ordered some BBW and BBB last month and they will be at the Co-op for us to pick up Thurs they said. The Heritage Bronze and BR's will be here on the 2nd.
We are excited!

Quote: My feed store doesn't order in any of the heritage types-- maybe that is for the best. lol. Otherwise, their prices have almost doubled for every type of poutlry.

I did not order the Heritage from the Co-op. I'm sorry, I did not mean to make it sound as though I did.
I was just saying they will be here on the 2nd. We are just very excited to be getting some more turkey!

We only ordered the BBW and BBB from the Co-op. That is the only kind they get.

I am finding turkeys are so much fun to photograph!!! They hold still much better than Chickens! Sorry for all the pictures but had to share!!

The disease runs its course for about 2-3 years, then reason sets in and you are able to choose a direction: pick 1-2 breeds and focus on them. LOL

is this just for turkeys or will my chicken and ducks get to one or two breeds in the bator...... Currently have Cayuga Duck eggs in the bator with Narragansett and Blue Slate Turkey eggs. We have Pekins and Rouens already. Then there are the Bantams that DH wants more of, because they are so cute. We also have Welsummer and Barred Rock chickens. BR may be going since we are not happy with them.
