Good to know about the heat tolerance- we have many weeks of 100+ degree heat here in Merced, so it's a real plus that the NN will handle it well. My husband had a pet NN roo as a teenager and says it was the most docile chicken he ever had. The lady (Nanci) who I got the barnyard mix of eggs...

No final count yet- we have several stragglers pipping, zipping and about two dozen or so that have hatched since Saturday. I hope to have a final count tomorrow night. All three incubators a tied up, some double stacked and I have 7 Sebastapol goose eggs ready to set with nowhere to set...

What a gorgeous bird! We put down 8 Midget Whites and only two hatched yesterday. Hopefully we can add a couple of other varieties soon. I see that you are just up the road from us. If and when you have birds or fertile eggs for sale, I'd love to the opportunity to buy from you. PJ (=

What a nail-biter of a day! At work, hubby at work. Turkey eggs on day 28. 6 of 8 left, 2 of those with very low saddle air cells. Since they are "babies", I say this qualifies a short day/FMLA, right? (=

The eggs are from Union Hill Ranch in Northern California, they're our first turkeys, so all I have to go on is the info on the website. If they turn out to be what we're hoping for, we'll be holding back a tom and a hen for breeding. I'll be sure to post updates as they hatch and mature. They...

Candled all eggs. Overted a major disaster by very cautiously removing one bad (stinky) Midget White Turkey egg, whew! The other 6 look fabulous! Grandson's are already rubbing their palms as they dream of eating turkey! 1 Lavvender Orpington, 1 Buff Laced Polish, and 2 assorted Silkies were...

Still waiting for the Polish eggs to arrive... It's like waiting on a grandchild to be born! Our 1st and only Polish hatched Saturday & we are hooked. Nobody can look at "him" without laughing. "Sir Topham Hatt"

We have recently banded chicks at 10-14 days old. We chose the 4" zip ties and it was very easy to do. We are new to raising chickens (our families had chickens when we were kids) and we were a little concerned that the other chicks or the chicks themselves would obsess over the new bands, but...

I'm in! Looking forward to Easter peeps! ::jumpy
