The Slate or Blue Slate variety is named for its color, which is solid to
ashy blue over the entire body, with or without a few black flecks. It is
also called the Blue or Lavender turkey. The Standard weight for a young tom
is 23 pounds and 14 pounds for a young hen. Since, however, the Slate has
not been selected for production attributes, including weight gain, in
years, many birds may be smaller than the standard. Careful selection for
good health, ability to mate naturally, and production attributes will
return this variety to its former stature.
Happy and healthy hens produce lots of delicous and healthy eggs and meat.
We feed as natural a diet as possible using whole grains and are completely Soy Free. Duck eggs come in white and sometimes gray. Chicken eggs come in many different colors, green, blue, brown, pink, white and speckled. We also have fertile eggs for hatching, chicks, ducklings, goslings, turkey poults and grown birds for meat. Check for availability.

Naturally, humanely-raised chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, and eggs. I do not and never will routinely use medications on my birds. Instead I implement high standards of care to keep my flocks healthy, and allow them to grow at the rate nature intended. I specialize in heritage and rare breeds; you will never find a commercial hybrid in my flock! They are fed a high quality blend of grains, and provided with unlimited access outdoors to forage.
