Turkeys For 2013

[kuntrygirl]

I'm feeling sad because I am selling all of my poults. I guess I need to hatch more. :/

[COLOR=4B0082]Awww, lol. Yes you do need to hatch more! [/COLOR]

[COLOR=4B0082]Lockdown for my first batch of Turkey eggs is scheduled for tonight.. I'm SO ready to have them hatch.[/COLOR]

Good luck on the lock down.

Sorry to hear about your hen that was taken by the fox but glad you got another one. Take pics and post when you can.

Why are you selling all of your poults?

4 more poults hatched, this time underneath a silkie mom

the two brownish ones are a surprise, I've only hatched whitish poults from my pair so far (royal palm x royal palm/bourbon red). Such cute babies.

Why are you selling all of your poults?

Just too many. I'm trying to keep a manageable number. The girls aee constantly laying and hatching, so when I want more, I will keep them. I still have 11 from the first hatch and I have about 20 adults, so that is more than enough. I want to make sure that I get a few toms in the freezer this year.

What is the count down for yours?

Thanks

My guess would be about 7-8 weeks-ish. It looks like it might be a bourbon red cross
