    Tricking Mama Turkey

    I have a chocolate hen turkey that has been laying for about a month now and she’s been making a nest with her eggs covering and sitting on them. I intend on getting more poults here in May from the same person I got her. If I sneak the poults in to her nest will she know they aren’t hers? She...

    Turkey sounds -- translations?

    Did you ever find out why she was singing. I just heard mine singing. It was so beautiful!

    Breed and Sex

    Hello! New to owning turkeys. Looking for help on identifying the breed and sex. I was told when I bought “her” she was a Heritage. But since that’s pretty vague, I’m thinking Broad? And as far as sexing, “she” acts both ways, even poops in J’s and piles. How can I identify by just observing...

    Hatching! Cause for concern??

    My duckling busted out but seems to still be attached. Is this and the amount of blood cause for concern?? And if not, how long do I let her like this? She is going crazy moving, kicking and chirping.

    ISO Pekin Duck Hatching eggs

    Just a question as I am new to all of this. Why do you prefer hatching eggs over buying baby ducklings?

    First time using incubator, question

    My incubator has the eggs lay on their sides so you’ll be fine. Just rotate them every 4 hours.

    It’s been in the same position for days where it hasn’t reached the air sack. Close but I see no movement, no progress.

    Dead duck egg? Day 28

    I got the Apdoe incubator from Amazon it had really good reviews. But I’m not able to control the humidity, only the temperature. So after all this reading I’m doing it seems like that could be a problem. I got a humidity gage just now and it says 93% 🤦🏼‍♀️. I’ll be very disappointed if it...

    Dead duck egg? Day 28

    Very slight movement yesterday and only a couple times. This morning nothing. I don’t see an internal pip. The veins are red, it looks healthy. Doesn’t smell. It’s day 30 now. It’s a Swedish blue duck egg.

    Dead duck egg? Day 28

    Any help at all I appreciate! I did see veins so I’m hopeful! I’m only hatching one so I have nothing to compare it to. But thank you!
