    Turkey breeding

    Turkey's can lay and hatch any time of the year... It's not uncommon for our hens to hatch out Oct or Nov. clutches. Matter of fact, we had a hen hatch 12 in Oct, and started laying again in nov while couped up in the brooder with the poults. It's natural for your hen to be on and off the...

    Red Laced Cornish X and project talk (pics p. 8)

    Quote: cornish 20 [aka Kfacres] only for another couple days... It doesn't take a very long, or very many conversations with Cornish people to realize that they really aren't a very productive bird- as most long time established breeders struggle to hatch out enough replacement pullets.
