    Eggs arrived in sad conditions...

    I hope you filed a claim with the post office. I got eggs in better shape, but with detached air cells and the usps gave me my money back.

    Husband got us a big surprise..soo many eggs

    He was bugging me to get quail eggs. Okay, so I get him a dozen jumbo coturnix eggs. He didn’t tell me that he ordered 60 eggs. Some jumbo wild and jumbo white. Still not that scary . Today the eggs arrived..They put 30 extra eggs in . 90 eggs in addition to the 12.. I wasn’t planning on that...

    Mhmmm, that’s not a midget white

    I’m going to the same swap again tomorrow. I hope the seller is there. I need to know what I have. I’m okay with anything but a wild turkey

    Mhmmm, that’s not a midget white

    Bought a dozen midget white turkey eggs at a swap meet last month...or so I thought. Started to hatch today,lost one that was midget white just after hatch. So I am currently left with this little guy. Pretty obviously not a MW or bourbon red which are also in the incubator.

    Getting some Bourbon turkeys

    I would keep 3 females. Just in case one dies, something happens ..and the Tom has plenty of hens.

    Best pet Turkey breeds

    I’m a sucker for bourbon red turkey, but I live in Kentucky, so I’m a bit biased. Midget White might also be a good option since they are smaller.

    Broody hen

    Broody hen

    My husband already has the next set of eggs lined up. Once everything is hatched and the bator disinfected he wants 5 dozen jumbo quail eggs in there. What incubator are you using? Mine is a off brand Chinese model with turner and forced air. *Pic taken before I added the chicken eggs

    Broody hen

    18-20 eggs seems to be the number they are usually aiming for. I have a broody bourbon red right now. She started sitting on a mixed breed clutch with turkey and chicken eggs. Then the neighbor two doors down found a nest of my other hen in her flower bed. I ended up taking the mixed clutch and...

    Started 23 turkey eggs today

    Got my new 32 egg HHD incubator today. Set it up ...and since I am a sucker I already bought eggs at a swap meet yesterday. Also had some from my own girls. 12 midget white eggs and 11 bourbon red ( one had a crack) . Hope my girls and Roger are fertile, as they are just a year old and it’s...
