The larger one looks like the ones I have, but in a plastic bag, on sale all the time for $1.50 for 100 at Harbor Freight Tools in Baton Rouge.Same colors probably. They have other colors too including white and clear, big rows of all different sizes and colors and some assorted, that's what I bought!
That is so nice of you Kuntrygirl! I also want to thank you for starting this kind of a thread for turkeys, so we can keep it going throughout the year. It's great and I am enjoying it so much and learning lots! Thanks!!!!
I wanted to start culling the chicken hens, in the summer, because they went broody and hatched out so many eggs from our mixed flock, that are mutts. I wanted to go from 200 to 300 hens, they move around too much, being free range over 5 acres, that haven't kept a count on them, to about 25, but he now wants to keep 50, at least. I will have more eggs than I can use or sell, with that many and the turkeys too, and chickens eat a lot foraging less than turkeys!Beautiful poults!
I do see some lighter poults. That is a good idea including some in each other and having the buyers let you know about the sex.
40 to 50 hens !!!!???????????????Let me know how that works for you.
Same here. I"m looking forward to the 78 degree weekend over here. I will be cleaning out the sheep pen and preparing for my NPIP on Monday morning. Not much to do since I did a lot of work that weekend I was telling ya'll about on the Louisiana thread.
Don't say the freeze word.
He has to get off from work.

I wanted to post a pic of the scale that I bought a few months ago. I use this scale to weigh eggs and babies. I won an auction on ebay and I paid $9.01 for it. It's a postal scale. It weighs up to 86 lbs. I think Celie has one similar to this as well. Celie may have bought hers for even less than I did. Correct Celie?
Yes it does. That's what I love about it. It is very accurate. I can weigh the same thing 3 different times and it gives me the exact same weight each and every time.Does it weigh in grams?I wanted to post a pic of the scale that I bought a few months ago.

Quote: Toe punch?
CHickens have a tiny flap of skin, duck like, between the toes. Using a punch, cut a circle of tissue out. THere is a formal system of punching for ID. I forgot to look at the turkeys today, but then I was rush rush dealing with frigid temps-- think the high today was 20. very low for us.

WHen april 1st comes around, I get enthusiastic that spring is soon to arrive.It doesn't get dark until 6:00 PM, so I want to race home to see if I can take some pics of my light colored girls and post tomorrow.
