Turkey Talk for 2014

I need to get rid of dial up!!

I have a trio of blue slates & a trio of royal palms. I will be raising out some bbw & bbb again this year as well since our dinner was so yummy yesterday. I would love to add trios & quads of other breeds as well. We are planning to keep 6 geese, 2 pens of chickens, and 4 pens of ducks. That cuts out 2 goose pens & 4 duck pens which can all go to the turkeys...lol
Anyone with npip eggs or poults that can be shipped or remotely near eastern Ohio who has started or adult birds for sale please let me know. We want to add at least 2 more trios by spring & probably 4-5 trios all together by summer besides the 2 we already have.
I hatch, sell or swap any eggs I can & sell off poults & started birds well into fall. We only eat our broad breasted birds. Heritage are too pretty. We just like to show them off. The kids are going to be showing them for 4-H.

I will have Bourbon Red hatching eggs in the spring and might be interested in hatching your duck eggs again.

I'm cutting back the ducks but will still have calls, anconas, khakis, welshie/khaki crosses & either scovies or rouens. The runners & pekins are going bye-bye asap to make room for turkeys. If I have anything you want I'd be happy to swap.

Can't remember where you are at, but if you want the adults they are for sale or swap. I have 2 quads of runners & a quint of pekins. Scovies I need a drake for. I lost my drake & 2 of the hens this week to the freezing rain before I got pens switched around so they were better protected from the cold.

Im in NH, quite far from you so no adults. Ill PM closer to spring about the swap once I decide my duck situation and what I might want to add.

That will work. I'll know for sure which breeds I'm keeping by then too.

Sorry I'm just jumping in with some info for those that are interested-- if it's ok with you Kuntry girl, I'l just drop in some info on turkeys as I find it. If not send me a pm.

THis is an article from S and S Poultry on raising turkey poults.

I have a trio of Bourbon Reds that I hope to get some poults from this year. Would also like to add Blue Slate and Royal Palms. Have to get the turkey pens built in the new barn this month so they can be settled by the time they start laying.

My plan is leaning toward buying poults this year as Auburns and Sweetgrass are hard to find. BUt if I am reading this correctly, Porters is about sold out, at least on the breed -specific choices. Boooooo
