No easter hatch for me even trying to keep my incubators cold this spring for turkey hatching, going to try to get what I need from broodys this year. But have about 30 turkey eggs stored on turner already and only 1 hen showing any signs. So, going to be very hard to not fire incubators up had to walk away from looking at my incubators just today after setting a few more eggs on turner today.
Tempting. Very tempting. Coming up on gnat season. The first ones are already here and I don't want to get a swarm of buffalo gnats going. Miserable biting, no see-um things.
Sounds like you need a hug!
Winter to Spring transition is always hit or miss for me too (although here in Hawaii, *winter* means something entirely different than in Oregon).
Well, it's early in the season.
I think I was just too eager to set eggs, so I set them before the roosters really woke up. I'm hearing a lot more crowing, so I'm going to set a new batch as soon as my single egg hatches or dies. It's still showing movement as of this morning when I put it into lockdown.
I always wait 2 weeks or sometimes 3 before I set any eggs after I get the first eggs.
