    I always start with fresh beet juice, vinegar, pinch of salt and sugar and bring to a boil. I slice onions and put then in my jar with beets and eggs, pour in the warm brine. I have a mustard egg recipe from the wife of an Amish guy my Pop works with that I haven't tried yet. I've tried hers...

    My dad likes to send 10 dozen home with us every 2 weeks. We pickle half and hardboil the rest to toss in salad. Think I'm going to try mustard pickled soon.

    I have a dozen that I need to candle in my incubator right now with a little over 2 weeks to go. I have 3 young turkeys from my first very early batch that are in the brooder along with 2 araucana chicks that came out of green eggs we bought at a farmers market around Easter for some photos (my...

    If anyone is interested, my slate blue turkeys have kicked into overdrive and are laying like crazy. I've already hatched several and have a second batch in my incubator. $4.00 an egg, shipping will be USPS priority. Eggs will be double wrapped. Shipping cost would depend on how many eggs are...

    Nothing as funny as a 2 week old turkey dropping its wings and strutting. Think its safe to assume its a boy!

    One of the vendors that sells live mice and stuff to feed snakes always has birds that they raise too. Last show it was quails, this time call ducks and khakis. I just couldn't resist.

    Question, our power went out yesterday morning around 4:30. We got the generator up and running around 9 after another update from PPL that it would be several more hours until power was restored. Anyway, our incubator got down around 74 degrees before we got it plugged in and back up to temp...

    Our first run with our Hova-Bator was great. We set 32 of our chicken eggs, pulled 1 at day 14 during candling, disposed of another 1 the day before hatching started that had a tiny crack and started oozing smelliness. 3 eggs quit although the chicks seemed to be fully developed and we have 27...

    I'm interested to hear how the turkey eggs are doing. I didn't know you had quail too, I could have packed some of those for you too.

    Why are Turkeys better than Chickens

    I personally think that my turkeys have much more personality than my chickens. This is my fourth year with turkeys, having hatched our own last year for the first time. Last summer, our turkeys we hatched followed us everywhere. To me they have actually been more pet than a potential food...

    How often do turkeys lay eggs & what to do with the eggs?

    My blue slate turkeys breed naturally and have been laying like crazy. Turkeys normally lay one egg a day to one every other day. We have so many, I'm going to start selling them and probably eating them too. @cwojbaker I recently put 10 day old Muscovy duck eggs in the incubator. I candled...

    Here's the start of our hatch! My daughter checks the incubator every 5 minutes, as I was making lunch, I took a picture of her moving her chair over so she can stand and look in! She refused to sit at the table and eat lunch. She had to be near the babies!
