A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

Both my young tom and young hen did the horizontal tail fan yesterday. They were fleeing the big bad monster (me) that caught them to get them out of the former dog yard.

ok, I know that I am obsessing. I have taken pics of these eggs. In the pics, they SEEM to show more detail than I am seeing with my naked eye. Hmmpth! What do you think?

I see some veining! I wouldn't give up on those ones

Dang it R2elk!! Guess I just need to be patient and keep an eye on their poop!

If it is hot and their droppings are runny, you won't be able to prove anything. If the droppings have been solid and they have all been in piles without any straight line or J droppings, they are both hens.

At this time, they are all still in the incubator. What is puzzling to me is why I can NOT see the veining until I snapped the photos - and they show up in the photos only. (grrrrrr).
I still have hope.

Aurora?? Did you stay up all night playing with the new machine??

R2elk....they are both pooping in nice little piles. But who knows? Just sitting there I get to see alot of pooping. I can't believe I'm spending time watching my poults poop. Since they are both growing feathers I've suspended lapper training. So I just hang out with them watching them poop! Gosh they are getting pretty! Little sweeties!

Lol, no but I'm about to get back to it right now. I had a quadruple batch of cookies to make for the kids' VBS next week and DD had a friend over so I had to give it a rest for a while. I've got 21 saddles to finish up today, then I'm going to play around with the patterned stitches. Depending on how they look, I may start making some saddles with fancy edge stitching lol

 

[memphis]

Fancy edge stitching on saddles! Nice!! The little ladies will love it!

 

[CindyinSD]

Contrasting (or not) stitching around the skirt would be soooo pretty, Aurora. Assuming it works properly, I’ll bet you’re gonna love this new machine.

I like the contrasting thread idea! We may have to change our thread name to "Turkey Talk Design Team"!
