We added 8 Khaki Campbells (hatchery quality) to our mixed flock about two years ago. Although they can be bribed with defrosted frozen peas, they generally prefer to keep to themselves, and become excited when humans approach them. We're planning to replace them with Welsh Harlequins when their laying careers are over.

Their eggs are about USDA Large to XLarge size, which makes it easy to substitute for chicken eggs in recipes. We found their meat very tasty, what little of it there is.

They are low maintenance as adults, and have done well in our high desert climate with temps from 15 F to 100 F. Here they are enjoying the monsoon rains last year:

We added Midget White turkeys to our hobby farm about a year ago, when a customer offered to swap a pair of our rabbits for a pair of his turkeys. We're up to six now, and we love having them around. As adults, they are very low maintenance, and get along fine with our chickens, ducks, and guineas. (Please note that we have not raised any other breeds of turkey for comparison.)

We have a flock of 20+ Australorps on our hobby farm. Having tried Brahmas, Plymouth Rocks, and Delawares, we settled on Australorps as the best breed all-around. They've thrived in our high desert climate, with temps from 15 F to 100 F. Our roo is a perfect gentleman with his ladies, humans (large and small), and other poultry.
