I used to have the midget white turkeys but they were not very "user friendly"...since I don't use chemical medications, it didn't help that they kept getting every turkey sickness known. I have switched to Sweetgrass as well as my Bourbon Reds. These seem to be much more disease resistant on pasture. I also have Dexter cattle, Muscovey ducks, Buff ducks, American Buff and mixed breed geese, Delaware and Buckeye chickens, goats and various rabbits. I love them all but my Red Wattles are still my favorite critters!
