Our Broad Breasted Bronze Turkey Poults hatched.
Of the 10 eggs we had... 6 were fertilized. Two pipped and failed. One never pipped. We have 3 turkey poults.
So in love with these little guys. One is quite loud, guessing that one is the girl, jenny 💃
Love these guys.
Adding 3 new fully grown chickens to the bunch... in quarantine right now in chicken tractor.
Gave away 100+ chickens in the last
~8 months.
Hubby didn't know we were going to be taking these... hope it doesn't derail his support of incubating eggs.
Maybe the various cages of different aged...
How to control humidity in the incubator and post-hatch brooders?
Lots of people love sponges.
I hate having to throw these away after each hatch.
We are trying to limit contamination between batches. So something inexpensive that we can toss out after a hatch makes me happy.
Ever make...
Turkey Eggs Hatching & Poult Survival Rates
We have done so much research on every type of turkey and incubating them.
Anyone have any tips?
We have RH Relative Humidity Guage in this particular incubator. I'm not sure how to calculate the difference between wet bulb, relative humidity, dew...
This batch of 10 turkey eggs, 4 were not fertilized. So of the 6 potential good ones, 2 decided to hatch on day 26.
Only one egg didn't pip yet.
Super EXCITED.
*first turkey that hatched had splayed legs. Hoping with some TLC he'll make it.
After losing 6 eggs and 1 chick, I wanted to give up on this incubator. Something isn't right with it. But sadly either I lose the eggs or try at least.
So in an effort to save 2 turkey eggs, I've been constantly checking this incubator. The heat and humidity were all wonky, and our turkey...
Hi all, I put this egg into a homemade incubator in the mid afternoon of 24th September. I counted 25th as day 1. Today is now day 29 and there is no internal pip. There is plenty of movement when I candled it but it just doesn’t look right. The air sac looks small and I can see it’s beak...
So many times breeds are made for egg color or feathers, not so much any more for temperament and friendliness.
I know people are exhausted by their orphingtons being bullied. But birds that kids and teens can easily handle would be nicer than colorful 🪶 🪶 feathers that show well.
A chicken...

What's your Favorite larger capacity Incubator?
Last Christmas I received my first incubator. Guess the heating pad in a bucket with my duck eggs was a hint I caught the incubating bug.
Seeing older cabinet incubators for sale now and then, but they look in bad shape and are still very...
14 turkey eggs incubating. So over the moon excited. Not sure if they will be broad breasted bronze BBB or burbon red crosses. Our hen "Jenny" is Broad breasted bronze.
One week in, our first turkey eggs ever... 28 days of waiting is S00🥚🥚🥚 L0NG🦃
Hi all,
So, I was experimenting with a home made incubator because at the time I had fertile eggs but no broody. I started incubating the eggs and then my hen went broody about half way through their incubation! I figured the best chance they would get is if I give them to my broody, even...
A question for the distinguished assemblage:
The hen who has been broody twice this year was sitting on the nest last night. Since I am new here, what is the worst broody? 3 times a year? 4 times a year? This is assuming you let her hatch and raise chicks. Her spring set was 21 chicks...
I am incubating my chickwn eggs for 15 days. But unfortunately there was a huge power cut of 12 hours. I checked the temperature and it was 30 degree celcius. Is there any chance left that my eggs can hatch?

Hello everyone,
Today we heard cheeping under our hen (who had been sitting on eggs for some time) we lifted her up to find one dead chick (very sad :( and upsetting) but another that was just popping out of its shell. We watched it come out and it was falling everywhere over the other eggs so...
