Nice to see someone else hatching turkeys now. DD has somewhere around 90 turkey eggs incubating and due over the next 4 weeks! She is hoping for pure blacks, but with our flock she has the potential for some barred black, chocolate and barred chocolate too.

Ooooooooh, that'll be fun!!! What does one do with 90 turkeys? Sell or process or both? I've just got 3 eggs, all 3 are pipped & rockin'. I'm excited!

Well I do not imagine all 90 will hatch but the idea is for DD to have s good selection to take to our county fair in july. Some of the extras will be offered for sale and some offered for dinner.

Hopefully there will be a good hatch. Is she using her own hens eggs or were they bought local? She'll get a better hatch rate than if they were shipped eggs. I'm excited for these to hatch. My parents had a gobbler (and some peafowl) when my kids were little, they loved that ornery Turkey. He was more guard dog & prankster than turkey I think.

They are out of her/our flock. She decided on the best birds to use to try and hatch what she wants. I hope at least half hatch.
