A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

Maybe, maybe not, I thought I read some where day 12 also. Keeping it longer to be sure is better than breaking it when you throw it out, and finding blood you missed when candling

I personally don't candle turkey eggs until day 25 when I am moving them to lockdown.  I have found it very common for the first couple of eggs laid to be infertile no matter how much breeding has occurred.  I do mark my eggs with a pencil (others use a black marker) with the date gathered and a code for the hen that laid the egg if known.  I store mine through the 14th day before adding to the incubator.

Good luck.

Alright, thank you both.

Me too!


I see Porters has Regal reds for sale and eggs,,,I need some.. But that is a 2 year project..

Porters does not have the Harvest gold for sale that I could see. I may have to start a niche market for them and the Oregon Browns, Beautiful birds.

Memphis did you get approved for The Breeding FB site yet?

 

[memphis]

Had to go back to look up Regal Red. They are beautiful too. But those Harvest Golds are amazing. Now I WOULD drive to Minnesota to pick up a HG!

Maybe you should just order a box'o Regals. Heck, Holm was looking for a project. You split up the breeding with him and develop a niche market.

I need to get approved! Been meaning to for months!

Just mulling over in my mind how my getting her a "gift certificate" to Porters would go over...... Could be a not so happy New Year for me..
