Got an 83% hatch rate on shipped painted turkey eggs. Ended up with 10 but one had to be culled. 3 whites, 1 chocolate tuxedo, 4 painted, and 1 odd one that looks like a sweetgrass. There is one bronze poult in the brooder I used to tutor the newborns to eat and drink.

The grizzled chocolate painted hen and tri color mottled chocolate hen was showing off today.

They are sure feeling their oats today. Lol

Yes a huge resounding thank you for your service!

Yep I believe the royal palm Tom is dissolving the relationship and filing for full custody of the royal palm poults that belong to him.

Here are the poults. Royal palm tom, you are not the father.

A wild gobbler has been visiting my friend’s royal palms. I hatch her eggs for her and take her the poults. He appears to have had a fling with her hens. There are some bronze looking poults hatching that should be palms.

Gave this beauty to my neighbor along with the white jake I hatched back in December. They are friendly and docile birds so I figured their grandkids would enjoy them when they come in to visit. Had to make room for grow outs and thin the flock. She is a barred rusty chocolate.

So cute! They look like they're living their best lives. Lol

They were putting on quite a show for little fellers. 🥰 It must take some practice to tone the muscles to fan their tail and raise up all their feathers as a bird matures. I noticed that when they first start out they only strut in short displays, that get longer and more proficient as they...

Maybe some quackers or waddlers but no strutters. 🤣

Glad you saved them all! That's quite a brood! Can't wait to see pictures of them as they grow out.

They look more like tiger bronze or cornish palms, not sweetgrass. Porters calculator says semi penciled tiger bronze and semi penciled sweetgrass are the result unless the hens were semi or fully penciled. My semi penciled sweetgrass poults don't have all the black markings. They look like...

 Aww! Semi penciled tiger bronze babies. I would love to get some tiger bronze one of these days. I'm hoping Harvey and Ghost throw one or two! 🥰

Happy Mother's Day!

My Narragansett poults are early strutters, and apparently blacks too as a tri color mottled black and a rusty black poult from my December hatch strutted before a week old. Must be something about black turkeys. And every time mine have strutted that early they have been for sure males, so...

Yes he already acts like the boss in the brooder. He is from my friend's turkeys, I hatch her eggs for her. I have another from the same parents that is a couple weeks older, but has brown on its head and more diluted looking. They are off a phenotypically barred slate looking tom and tri...

Could they be blue penciled palms?

Had a black poult trying to strut and gobble at just a few days old the other day. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself. The little chirpy gobble was so cute!

What are the ones with the markings? They look like my cornish palms and red phoenix. They are so cute!
