Hi Everyone! I have been off the board for quite a while. Having a 2 and 6 year old plus a farm keeps me busy! Lol. Anyway it's getting time to start looking for some babies for my daughter to raise to show for her first year of 4h. We have turkeys she is going to show and some geese. I...

I need advice! I am hatching babies and have all but 5 that left to go. I hatched some on day 22 and some on day 23. Today is day 24. They were moving and tapping yesterday and now they stopped. They probably died didn't they? I hate that.
