    Buying Quality Turkey Hatching Eggs

    They would be inside the mudroom...inside the attached gar rage. Do you still think this would be risky? I have heard that turkeys are a little harder to get past the first weeks than chickens. We certainly don't want anything to happen to them. I would just like to get them started because...

    Do I need the 12-egg tray for Brinsea Mini Advance?

But when I did that the humidity was sky high....so I only kept a little water in it and kept the humidity from 25-40% until day 18 and than 75% or higher. and only had...

    I had a brilliant idea...or maybe not so much !!! Has anyone tried shipping a small hard cooler to the person you are buying eggs from and having them ship it back with the eggs in it??? When I buy shipped eggs they are wrapped with extreme care, padded, and clearly marked fragile. The last...

    Buying Quality Turkey Hatching Eggs

    I have heard so much that turkeys and chickens from hatcheries just are not of as good quality. I want to raise bourbon red turkeys but would like to start with quality. How do I know that I am buying quality eggs from someone. Not just eggs from hatchery turkeys??? Any advice??

    Some Hatched-Some Died ???????

    Its very frustrating isn't it!! They get all that way and die right before. I just wish I knew what is wrong. My temp was at 99.6-99.8 for the entire time. I used a Brinsea Mini Advanced bator.

One of the 2 that did hatch hatched from the small end...the other from the large end. It is so sad the see them fully developed. They yolks...

So with that being said....I got him out wrapped the egg in warm wet paper towels. broke the shell a little bit around the pip...

    Humidity....

    I have a Brinsea Mini advanced. It has two spaces for water. The first 18 days you are supposed to fill one of them....the last 3 days you are supposed to fill both. Last hatch most of my chicks never made it to full size but the 2 that did died within the last day. I am pretty sure they...
