Ya I have no knowledge of Duckopolis but with that many breeds I would not expect top of the line birds, but depending on what you want the birds for or the availability of birds you have to take what you can get. Looking at the Chocolate turkey tom on the Duckopolis site, he is not great ... some light coloured feathers and patterning but the Chocolate turkey gene pool in Canada is pretty shallow, so I am looking for whatever I can get from as many people as possible.

Agreed... not looking for show birds... just more genes.

A bit off topic....notice he sells ceramic heat emitters.....anyone ever try those? I like the idea of no light from them. To some extent that would be handy. He also has violet Guineas that I could be tempted by.

I have never tried them... but if I do order, I was planning on getting a few to test.

Organic, free range non gmo heritage breed turkeys!
