    Tips needed on getting hatchlings started

    they dont do much eating that soon...obsorbing the yolk in the egg takes care of them for a day or so..hard boiled egg ground up with small amount of starter sprinkled over it works great....dont know if its taste/color or texture but they love it...and of course, its good for them

    Plastic lining for bottom of Hovabator incubator?

    1x2 welded wire works really well...i cut a piece to cover the hardware cloth that comes in the hovabators...it prevents the eggs from rolling around ect...really nice for turning and hatch times.kind of holds eggs in place

    odd colored bronze turkey poults

    had a batch of poults hatch in the last couple of days...all are full blooded bronze and no access to any other turkeys.two of the 19 are yellow as in baby duck yellow and of course the others are typical color.. any ideas to either why or what these will end up being colored?

    When does a hen start "laying down" on the eggs?

    they dont start to sit until they are finished laying their clutch..this prevents a staggered hatch...

    Turkeys flew the coop

    imo, the best option would have been to release the gobbler only after a few days of being cooped..allow him to get a bit used to the area prior to releasing the hen..in most cases he wouldnt have left her..good luck on getting them back home
