    How long after mating for the first fertile egg?

    Hi guys, I've got my bbw hen turkey visiting her boyfriend now for a little while. My Q is, how long after the mating occurs should I get a fertile egg? Is it the same as in chickens or longer due to her laying every other day??

    Rouen Duck Eggs STILL not fertile?!?!?!?

    I've got 19 Rouen duck eggs in the incubator right now, at day 9. I just candled them to find ZERO fertile. The last time I incubated some (October or so) there was maybe 1 egg that had signs of an early death. The Rouen ducks are 9 months old. Is it just the cold weather now?? Do they stop...

    BUFF POLISH HEN 9months old FREE TO GOOD HOME - South LA

    One Free Buff Polish Hen, 9 months old. Reason for giving her away is that the rest of the flock (larger birds) go after her, forcing her to stay in community nest box. She has a good temperament, but is flighty like most Polish are. She can be picked up in Grand Isle LA, or I can meet you a...

    The most expensive Christmas Turkey in the world...

    Sunday morning, my husband and I were preparing to process our last turkey for the year, so we got everything ready. Put the pot of water on to scald, sharpened the cleaver, etc... We walked out the 40 pound beast to the chopping block, and hung her upside down. She didn't relax, even after...

    I'm sick to my stomach.

    Sunday at mid-day I went out to check on my chickens and discovered a little white polish hen had been dismembered outside of my chicken run. Her remains had been pulled though a very small hole in the corner of the run. Immediately I thought that it was a coon, but then thought that a coon...

    Just ATE my first raised chicken....and

    IT WAS GREAT! Wow... That obnoxious 2AM crowing black cochin finally got it, and he tasted soooo good. I wasn't planning on eating him, but hey, things happen. I had too many roosters that NOBODY would take. I figured that if I was going to give them away for someone else to eat, I should...

    An unexpected turkey dinner...

    This morning I did something I didn't plan on doing today. I went out to feed the animals, and my youngest turkey, Ronnie who was 7 months old was lying down letting the hens peck him on the bottom. On closer inspection, I saw that he had at least an 1 1/2" hole pecked out of his vent area...

    Anybody have a clue about this egg??

    For a couple of days now I've been getting an egg just like this one. It's a bit larger than the usual eggs I've been getting. It's ALWAYS laid on the ground in the run. Never in the nest box. It's got this matte purple-looking finish with brownish "scratches" on it. Well yesterday I was...

    So what's the deal with Racoons?

    We live where there are plenty of racoons. They are so bold as to come to eat out of the cat's food bowl in broad daylight. You can get nearly 10 feet away from them and they won't stop eating. A couple of days ago in the afternoon, one tried to come in through the locked pet door! So, my...

    RIP Little Guy!

    Yesterday, we discovered our tiny little Bantam Rooster dead on the ground of our quail house. I don't have a clue as to what he died of. There was no sign of trauma, no intrusion to the pen, and he acted perfectly normal up until the night he passed. Maybe it was old age?? I really don't...
