I candled my last turkey egg and it was a quitter. I originally had 7 and 6 were clear. I was really hopeful for this one. I was really good about leaving the incubator alone this whole time and only candled a couple of times. I checked the temperature every day and it was always between 99...

I am getting excited! Only a few more days before hatch day. I only have 1 of 7 royal palm eggs that showed any development so I am that it hatches!

We have rattle snakes and bull snakes here. I am deathly afraid of those (mostly the ratlers) But we do keep a Ball Python as a pet snake, She will eat all the mice we can catch. I am pretty sure I would just flat out die if I saw a snake in my chicken coop! Had my Easter Hatch babies out in...

I agree completely! And now I am off to set a pot of water to boil. My roo has been crowing non-stop all morning and all this talk about butchering has reminded me I have a job to do.

Thank you! I have decided that it is Karma. I forgot to lock up the chickies last night so they were out playing in the yard this morning. Everyone was present and accounted for, but I still feel bad beings that we just killed our second skunk already this spring! The chickens think it is...

Oh I just want to cry! out of 7 Royal Palm eggs set there is only one showing any development! And to add to the disapoint met I found one of my Silver Fox Rabbit kits dead in the cage this morning. I think I need to go back to bed and start this day over.

I was going to ask what temperature you were incubating at to get them to hatch that fast! I decided on Royal Palms for my turkeys, I know that they are more ornamental than for eating, But I think they are so pretty! Maybe I will work on my own line of midget white/royal palms that are...

Oh My! Well said.

Welcome! That is kinda how I joined the Easter hatch.

Might be worth a try.

That would be a huge temperature swing! We got 11 inches of snow at my house today and it is a wet heavy snow. The town 20 miles over got 30 inches of snow I am told! It isn't too cold out probably 35* but it is supposed to be around 60* on Sunday. My kids get to do their yearly tradition of...

I am tossing around planting a 3 sisters garden this year. My DH got me a 24x20 greenhouse this year so that will free up quite a bit of my garden plot to try it. I planted a 30 foot row of raspberry bushes last fall that the deer got too so I don't know if they survived the winter. I am...

Can't even think about planting till June 1st up here. I have everything started and under grow lights in my bedroom though. I didn't get any beans in my garden last year I just could not get them to grow!

Yeah, I'm worrying that I'll still have eggs in the incubator hatching when I need to set mine.......... I have a feeling I am going to be in trouble for that one as well. My temps are running low so I will probably be late with that hatch ending.
