    It was all planned, but we are an incubator short. Ahhh

    So I had it all planned. Lol One incubator, one crappy Styrofoam back up and as lockdown hatcher. I had both set up to incubate eggs... then our eggs got the boot from the good incubator to make way for quail eggs. So... We debated about buying another Styrofoam incubator --> but in all...

    Broad Breasted Bronze Turkey Poults hatched

    Our Broad Breasted Bronze Turkey Poults hatched. Of the 10 eggs we had... 6 were fertilized. Two pipped and failed. One never pipped. We have 3 turkey poults. So in love with these little guys. One is quite loud, guessing that one is the girl, jenny 💃 Love these guys.

    Broad Breasted Bronze Turkey Hatching

    This batch of 10 turkey eggs, 4 were not fertilized. So of the 6 potential good ones, 2 decided to hatch on day 26. Only one egg didn't pip yet. Super EXCITED. *first turkey that hatched had splayed legs. Hoping with some TLC he'll make it.

    Sexing turkeys

    Assisted hatch, incubator issues

    After losing 6 eggs and 1 chick, I wanted to give up on this incubator. Something isn't right with it. But sadly either I lose the eggs or try at least. So in an effort to save 2 turkey eggs, I've been constantly checking this incubator. The heat and humidity were all wonky, and our turkey...
