Just because i didnt feel like doin anything while waitin for hubby to come back in this mornin. I *think* all five of our ladies are layin. That one big egg i am not positive on. But it is more red with the speckles than the other bigs.

On my way home. Layed over in Minneapolis. Scoop from the coop, according to my turkey sitter, is Annie is sitting in the nest box & Daisy has her in a head lock. Boy oh boy...those two are in trouble!

Haven’t yet gone out and checked for more:

Had a few of the first ones, I didn’t see the bullseye spot like you do on chicken eggs. Is that visible early on with turkey eggs?

Gqf cabinets. A 1202 and 1502. Also a 1250 hatcher haven't used it yet. All used 1502 was 450. 1202 and 1250 were 150.

Have a brinsea 20 incubated good just needed more space than just 20 eggs. At time almost 400.

1588 genesis styro but holds temp and humidity well. Used 125.

Now if my hens will start laying steady enough to fill them up.

I have two 1588 and right now they are all I need and so simple to operate and clean.

My 1202 was like $100 and was just stuffed in someone's store room for many years. It came with 6 bantam racks and a friend gave me a bunch of chicken egg racks. It needed cleaned up good but worked great right from the start

Miss Mary now has a breeding injury like Pebbles had. These toms! Tommy will be going soon. All of my girls are now wearing saddles! I saw Mister trying to breed the girls today so he's going to be passing on that penciling!

Oh good for Mister!!

I laughed as i read your ladies saga while i was sittin by the mister drinkin coffees.... he spit coffees on his uhm six pack... yea six pack... and his spy pad. He was amused but not. Oops. He asked.

Now he is off to manipulate/manhandle/throw things at his new chicken wagon extroidinaire some more at his shop cause he gots meaties comin next week so it must be finished.... cause i am NOT havin 75 in my house! I think i will go amuse meselfs with my fat pregnant goat gracie that i am for positive is gonna hold those babies in another tenlebenty years or so and the toddler goats for a while just to hear his rantin.... cause nothin has gone his way so far today. His shop is within hearin not throwin distance of the goats and turkeys. Does this make me a bad human? . I DID ask did he need me help him. But he turned me down .

And. I have oficially renamed buster brown as thanksgivin! I truly do not like this turd bird. . And this week when we process rabbits... that jerkface dolt roo is goin as well! He got me good yesterday with his spurs to my knee but i also got him back. . I got a shovel and gently tapped him.... oh bout ten footish. Funny thing that shovel. Had a mind of its own it did.

P.s. @memphis .... can’t you just grow and raise me a good sweet tom like yours? We already have a spare roo that is a big doll and doesnt try keel all the humans in the area. You really arent horrible far for us to come... or @rjohns39 you too. . I would love a few blue slates! And there are none round these parts.

I saw my toms breeding long before I got my first egg. I put my second egg in bator from every hen and all since then. I believe they are all fertile. I have a Tom that likes smashing eggs! Ive lost two this week.
