Wow mine are not really due until Monday....I have them hatching in the incubator because I was too lazy last night to move them to the hatcher who needs a hatcher...worse I'm not going to look at the humidity I have pips in most of the eggs and I don't have much water left so now what should I...
Wow looks like we have hatchlings...I set mine on Monday so they look down today and sorry I've not been on much we've had plenty of family drama no end in sight either...I'll candle mine when I lock them down but my Palm hen hatched 2 stepped on one so I saved the other one it's in the brooder...
I know my shipped egg percentage has been horrible this year due to mashed boxes and plain rough handling..that's why I wrap my eggs the way I do. Last year I tried foam and had more mashed eggs than ever and my double boxed eggs this year even had cracked eggs......I just pray when I mail I...
I'm certifiable I had to take a quick look at 2 MW eggs both look like they are going to be turkeys....I have my shipped eggs ready to add and sorry that I'm sending that awful weather we just had east I am not sorry it left though we are due to have 80's all next week and I'm going horse...
Wow you all are dangerous no way am I getting into a camo straight jacket even if that's my color...I just got done setting 24 of my turkey eggs so now the wait to candle. To me turkey eggs are deceiving so I might take a peek at them in a week but I don't toss any until 10 days they are slower...
Hi everyone I'm back from my brother's going to get my chores done and I'm going to candle my eggs that are cooking then add my turkeys tomorrow mine really do mostly hatch on day 27 on eggs that have been shipped no biggie leaving them big end up in a turner or carton for a week then turn them...
We'll have at least a couple days close to 100 later this month it shows 87 one day in the 15 day forecast.....I'm only 35 miles from the coast in central California we do get frost sometimes late in April but we get hot too
Renee those eggs with an A are still mixed just from the Auburn hen I have 2 no tom though..so Pretty Boy is the boyfriend and I have 2 MW who insist on visiting the Palm Tom he is a handsome chunk a little bigger than the MW's if you get a blue Palm that might be the mix....my wild turkey girl...
My turkeys are thinking like the Easter Bunny 11 eggs today so Arielle your eggs will make it on time. I sent out mlmddh's Midget Whites and ChooksChick's turkey assortment and should be able to get Noncentzter's and yours out tomorrow late or early Thursday and I have enough for one more 6...
I've raised mine with the chicks they don't roost with the chickens they like higher up and when I separate them they have been good about going to their house so I can let mine out to free range and when I see them hanging out by their house I open it and they walk right in I think it depends...
yes that's how I came to keep Pretty Boy he followed me all around and warned me of visitors scared the UPS driver and for the longest time thought I should be his "Women" so of course he's still here and I gave him a pen of his own women this year I think he's stunning but then I'm partial to blue
I sell mine on CL and the local feed stores buy them from me too as shipping turkeys is really hard on them and you always loose some..I brood them for a week then start selling that way people have better luck and fewer losses. If turkeys didn't eat so much... I have many requests for grown...
I'm going to be in Concord this weekend for the Marans and Delta meet up bringing all the turkey eggs I have. Shipping to you is hard on the eggs as they go by truck the whole way....
I didn't put it in there just on this board. I usually put my eggs on the 24 hr thread since there isn't a real auction thread anymore. Please PM me so I don't sell too many I want everyone to have the freshest eggs possible those farthest away get sent earlier than those close I know how long...
I'm in I will have eggs too for those of you in need here is what I have:
Hi I have Bourbons and Midget Whites and Palms they are all laying and I have a "pretty" pen a mixed Tom who looks like a Blue Palm but is a Midget White x Narraganset in with Auburns and Midget Whites he isn't a year old...
