    Buying Quality Turkey Hatching Eggs

    They would be inside the mudroom...inside the attached gar rage. Do you still think this would be risky? I have heard that turkeys are a little harder to get past the first weeks than chickens. We certainly don't want anything to happen to them. I would just like to get them started because...

    Do I need the 12-egg tray for Brinsea Mini Advance?

    Buying Quality Turkey Hatching Eggs

    Some Hatched-Some Died ???????

    Its very frustrating isn't it!! They get all that way and die right before. I just wish I knew what is wrong. My temp was at 99.6-99.8 for the entire time. I used a Brinsea Mini Advanced bator.
