Turkey Talk for 2014

I clean my incubators with soap and water in the bath tub then give it a good wipe down with Lysol or Clorox wipes.

Ok, I'll do that next time...Didn't have Clorox wipes at the time, but will keep some in my bator box supplies Thanks!

Quote: Look carefully at the warnings on the wipes-- I have been finding wipes that are not for use on glas an other surfaces. So I stopped using them. A weak bleach solution is always good, or oxine. Another good dis infectant is sunlight-- I don't have a place to lay my LG out in the sun withoug risking the chickens pecking it to peices. ANd the dickey-- well I don't know the size so, if ita a acabinet style, guess you won't be placing it out in the sunshine for a couple hours. lol

Hi All!

I bought Royal Palms last year and there was another poult that was in my batch. I'm not sure what he is...maybe Jersey Buff? Can anyone help? I adore him but am not sure if he's a pure or mix breed. He was bigger than the Royal Palms.

I checked Porter's website. He looks like the Jersey Buff. He's a bit dark to be a Self Buff.

He could be an Auburn.

I thought so too until I looked at the primaries-- auburns are that chocolate color but also have striped primaries.


Pretty turkey though!!

Maybe a Bourbon red cross?

Where did you get them from, hatchery? Local source?

The jersey buff females have the same light coloring he has and the males appear to be darker than Rupert is. Thanks for the tip on that Porters site!

From a local breeder. Actually the breeder was out of town and their grandmother let me pick what I wanted from their stock. I picked mostly Royal Palms but these were bigger and I loved the light buff coloring. Since then I can't find the information on the breeder.

Thank you! I would love to get more if I can figure out what he is.
