@NTBugtraq - Incubation is just not the same as Mother Nature. It is in no way natural to make life from a light bulb, but, having said that, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I put together my little home made bator in a small gas station cooler and hatched 4/5 even with 10-15 degree...

So here is my finished hatch. I wound up with 8 good healthy chicks with straight feet and all hatched unassisted. I didn't get anything out of the turkeys but I still have them in the bator since they started at a low temp. When you pick the eggs up they feel like they have a poult in them so...

I have 5 out now and 2 more pips, but still nothing from the turkeys.

I have 4 hatched now, and 2 more pipped. Still over half of the chicken eggs with nothing, but it's very early on day 21 for me. Actually it's very late on day 20 I suppose. The turkeys are due any time now but I'm not holding much hope on them. So far my chicks look perfect with good feet and...

Give your chick a mirror, it helps them some when they are alone.

Ha Ha! Here I am on my lockdown day, worried about getting everything ready for the new fuzzies about to show, go out to collect my eggs for the day and one of my hens is broody! Looks like chicken math is hard at work here. I guess instead of making one more coop and pen I'm gonna have to make...

With my hatches it always seems like the first one takes a loooonnnnggg time to get out of the egg, but after that It starts making noise and the others start going like popcorn. I love lockdown and watching the eggs pip and zip. Usually by the next day after lockdown I have every speckle...

So I've got 5 turkey eggs still going but I only feel good about 2 of them, and of the 21 chicken eggs I set I have 14 still going. 7 were clear so I tossed them, I have 5 I can't see in, and 9 look good. I guess I'm expecting around 12 fuzzies, but we'll just have to wait and see. Lockdown is a...

I should also have some hatching around June 6th. After I did my day 10 candling on my turkeys I realized I was actually running a little too cold, so Increased my temp and got that in check, but I'm afraid the damage was already done. I have one turkey egg that looks good and a couple that are...

I'm gearing up to be gone for a week or two soon, so I searched the web for a feeder and water that would hold a lot, I found this and made it and I'm so glad I did. It only took about 5 minutes to get my chickens to learn how to use it and they are fed for a week or two. I used the street elbow...

You're still on track to hatch maybe a day or so behind me.... good luck! Power to the poultry!

I too have become hardened over time to not fiddling with the eggs and being more patient. I see from your siggy that you have bourbon reds... that is what I'm trying to hatch this time... This will be about my fourth attempt to establish a turkey flock. I've already got all the vitamins and...

Today is the day I add my chicken eggs in with the turkeys that have been going. I wound up with 21 to set so I'm pretty excited with that. These will be the first eggs I've hatched from my flock. I'm making my brooder a big huge one and have it planned out so that I can take it apart and store...

Glad to see even more people joining with us. My turkey eggs are just sitting in there hopefully doing their thing. Temps are nice and steady and everything looks good. I got worried about my humidity being too low, it's been reading 16% percent since I set the eggs. I splashed some water in...

Awesome! I'm so glad to have a few people to follow along with. I'll be adding my chicken eggs to the turkey eggs Monday night, and lock down will be June 5th. So far I have 10 eggs collected from my hens and I expect another 8 or 9 by Monday to add to the mix. Good luck to you all, and I'll be...

Hi everyone. I'm setting some Bourbon Red turkey eggs in my bator tonight, and plan to set some eggs from my hens in with them in a week. The chickens are Blue/Black orpingtons and big beautiful girls with a handsome roo watching over them. I bought the turkey eggs from an ebay auction and the...
