March 2017! Hatch with us!

I have 11 beautiful turkey eggs in the incubator. I started them last Saturday. I just candled some today even though I was supposed to wait a few more days and I saw some veining. :-D

Gorgeous! Are they from your own flock?

No. This is my first time with turkeys. I traded some eggs with Auroradream26. It's my first time with shipped eggs too.

Well, reading back a page I see lots of people asked about the eggs and the question was answered.
I was out for a few hours. Time flies when we're hatching.
After this morning's 2nd chick, I checked the nest around 6 p.m. and there was a soggy sweet cute chick that had just zipped and pushed the top off the shell. I wiggled the bottom of the shell just a tiny bit and the chick popped out free! I probably need to be a little less enthusiastic with my wiggling shells...
Since the little one was still soaking wet I quickly put mama hen Mima back on top and let them all do their thing in peace and quiet.
This little peeper is much darker than the first 2 that look alike ( 3/1 and 3/4 morning). I've never seen a chick still wet from hatching so I don't know what s/he will look like when dry.
This "crazy-hatch" keeps getting more bizarre and more interesting (and So Very Precious)!

Great! Remind me, how long do turkey eggs take to hatch?

Yea they look kinda funny when they pop out looks like a wet noodle or something you see in a Chinese restraunt lol

So, after quite a bit of thought, I decided that I would rather raise 55 Flowery Hens than Swedish Flower Hens (jeepers, what is it with me, flowers, and chickens?!

+

) so, as soon as they hatch I'm going to try to sell the whole clutch (may be a small hatch, may be large - with shipped eggs it's hard to know!) locally - at least Northern Cali or Southern Oregon (we're about an hour and a half from Oregon). So, if you know anyone in those locations, feel free to spread the word. (I'd rather not use Craig List if I can help it.)
