    Eggs arrived in sad conditions...

    I hope you filed a claim with the post office. I got eggs in better shape, but with detached air cells and the usps gave me my money back.

    Mhmmm, that’s not a midget white

    Bought a dozen midget white turkey eggs at a swap meet last month...or so I thought. Started to hatch today,lost one that was midget white just after hatch. So I am currently left with this little guy. Pretty obviously not a MW or bourbon red which are also in the incubator.

    Best pet Turkey breeds

    I’m a sucker for bourbon red turkey, but I live in Kentucky, so I’m a bit biased. Midget White might also be a good option since they are smaller.

    Broody hen

    My husband already has the next set of eggs lined up. Once everything is hatched and the bator disinfected he wants 5 dozen jumbo quail eggs in there. What incubator are you using? Mine is a off brand Chinese model with turner and forced air. *Pic taken before I added the chicken eggs

    Broody hen

    18-20 eggs seems to be the number they are usually aiming for. I have a broody bourbon red right now. She started sitting on a mixed breed clutch with turkey and chicken eggs. Then the neighbor two doors down found a nest of my other hen in her flower bed. I ended up taking the mixed clutch and...

    My new Ideal babies what breeds do you see?

    I am seeing some Wyandotte - silver laced maybe?, two easter eggers and they black one with the white spot on the head, could they be barred rock? THey are all supposed to be female- it was the Ideal surprise special. THe really light one I am pretty sure is a Wyandotte.
