Aurora....was that the first turkey egg you've used? What did you think? I had no doubts about Adam!! Chaos & Ralph....when are you setting your eggs? This weekend??

Yes, that was the first one we used and it turned out really good. Even my husband said how good they were

Aurora! Glad to hear the turkey egg went over well! My chickens are freeloading slackers but Daisy is laying. So I've been eating her eggs. I do like them!

R2elk...I'm not ready to start any type of breeding program right now. Hence,my lack of interest in a bator. I enjoy my turkeys as pets. So, as much as I would love to have a tom....I don't think I need to go there. I don't want to get over my head. At some point I may decide to breed. But I've only had the girls since July. I'm still learning too much about turkey care, temperment and genetics to want to start something yet.

Can't wait to see the chicks! Chaos, Ralphie and Aurora....anybody else incubating right now? I know Feisty has a hen sitting. I guess Aurora is the only one with turkey eggs in the incubator. Can't wait to see those little Adam babies!

Feedman...did you say your setting eggs too? Did your incubators suvive the fire??

More bad news.. I found my only hen turkeys in the nieghbor's electric fence dead. She was the first I've lost from it. I looked for her for hours Monday night when she wasn't with the others when I put them up. The area I found her was the first place I looked because of the past experience. She wasn't there but that's where I found her at daybreak. It sure makes me debate on keeping my other two.. it was the saddest hole in dug and the two Toms knew she was gone... they just moped around all day... I guess I did too..
