Well all 6 of the hens stayed on nests after dark.
Hens 1 and 2 are chocolates both on same nest setting on 16 eggs.
Hen 3 is a blue slate on 19 eggs.
Hen 4 royal palm on 21 eggs.
Hen 5 is a bourbon red on 18 eggs.
Hen 6 is spanish black on 6 eggs.
Found another nest this afternoon has 6 in it hidden in barn.
One spanish black was here this morning disappeared this afternoon and didn't come to roost at dark so she must have a nest I have not found yet.
Think I kinda over did it on turkeys this spring. Lol.
First off, knock that kind of negative thinking off!
There is no way to overdo turkeys! It is impossible. The doubts are normal, but they are the devils works, kick the thoughts out!
Grab a barley pop, vodka mix, or a case of Mikes hard lemonade and drink them while contemplating your turkeys. When it dawns on you, that you need more turkeys, you have drank enough and can go to bed with visions of even more turkeys in your head.
Why yesterday, while building Bert's romper room and playhouse, I thought to myself, "I have 25 eggs in the incubator, I am getting more eggs everyday, Ethel has a nest somewhere I will be able to rob soon. I think I have enough turkeys now."
Well, I tell you what! I finished Bert's room, put Bert in there and gave him some girls, then I went in an opened a Mikes. I reflected on turkeys. By 10pm I was tired ready for bed and planning on 25 more poults... and that is more proof, Adult beverages aren't just for breakfast anymore... or processing day..
They can help solve any quandary......
PS..
I went out about 6:30 this morning to check on Bert in his new coop. Him and his gals are doing good.. One of the turkey hens was clucking (loud).. I just stood there watching her and I heard a Wild Tom answer her.
Shortly, after I heard another at a different angle. It was amazing I stood and watched her for about 5 minutes..
I went back in to have coffee as I was sitting there I saw a Wild Tom waking across my field about 200-250 yards from the turkey coop. I think I have found my new turkey hunting partner.... I opened the door and stepped out on the steps to try and get a better look....Big Mistake, he ran away immediately, he was a tad flightly..
