Now that I have been looking closer, I don't think they are the BBW, I think they may be the smaller ones like the Hollands or one fo the others.

Well, I'll find out in the Spring if they are worth the wait. I don't want to be feeding anything that will give me nothing in return.

Not really a fair swap, since the BBWs will likely not live long and the Royal Palms will not only live long but reproduce and run and fly -- those *important* things the Frankenstein birds can't do.

I think the owner of the farm supply store is going to try and get me 2 royal palms in the spring. If so that will be fine. It will just put me back a year and to the plans that I had in the first place.

They don't look like BB's to me. My BBB's got up to about 60 lbs. or more in 8 months. A heritage breed will never get that big. BB's will get leg problems, they'll be visibly having trouble getting around. Heritage birds don't get that way.

I hope you have heritage birds! Good luck!

I'm envious, I think you have Midget Whites. I'd love to have those! Can't find a supply here in Canada. Good luck with them, they are heritage and they will do you well.

I agree, not broad breasted whites. 7 months and under 30 lbs. You've got a heritage type. A broad breasted white would have surpassed 30 at like 4 months old!

I am going to try and get a better picture tomorrow of them. I have now noticed that both are growing a beard.

Does this mean I have 2 Toms.......again?
