    Turkeys hatched, but.....

    A farmer was cutting the field across from me and scared up a turkey off her nest, then brought me the eggs. After 10-12 days they hatched. They are sprayed legged and just scoot about. I have been told to feed them non medicated chick feed and read that they have to be taught to eat and drink...

    OMG, I just did the math, I went yesterday to pick up 10 blue copper marans, but brought home 11 plus 11 black marans. So I added up and now have 54 chickens plus 5 eggs to hatch next week. What am I going to do? Of these, 17 are out in the coop, the rest are brooder babies. My new 4 room coop...

    Well, just figured out my new 4 stall coop is not going to be large enough. I need 6 new coop stalls. I was planning on expanding it next summer but may have to figure out something else. So many chickies, so few coops.

    I would hate seeing the dead chicks too. Eggs are safer but 40% clear is crazy.

    No more shipped eggs, out of my dozen I have 4 viable eggs. 5 were clear and 3 quit. I cannot spend $55.00 for 4 Amerucana chicks. So disappointed. That is asumming these 4 make it to hatch next week. I never expect them all to make it, but 5 clear??? Ok off my soapbox.

    Hi!

    Welcome, there is so much to learn here, and everyone is so helpful. What breed of chickens do you have?

    I plan on keeping it running to sell chicks. I will also use styro to hatch as I use the same one for hatching now. I just do not want to have so many incubators sitting out and Cabnet would take less room. I like that it is set it and (almost) forget it.

    Thank you for your response, I have 3 styrofoam. I am sure I will go with the dickey now. I cannot find anyone with issues with them. By staggering yout hatches you are making the most of it, I was going to get the 2x2 but since your comment maybe the other one would be best.

    Thinking of buying a dickeys incubator, does anyone have any faults with them. and what about electronic vs waffle heating. Why is auto correct always messing up what I want to say? I hate it.
