I so wish I would get a good broody!

I have one poult this morning, there are 3 eggs that have been pipped for 24 hours now and no action, I bet then are dead in the shell.


Congrats on the babies.

They usually pip so they can breathe while they finish their yolk before they come out of the shell. Don't give up on them.
Congrats on the poult.

X2 sometimes they can be a bit slow.

A poult just crawled out of one of the eggs that was pipped yesterday. He/she is lying on the floor of the incubator resting, I think, his butt might still be attached to the egg.

The other hatched one just unzipped and popped right out without all the drama. I so like the fast hatchers.

I like the fast hatchers also but I wait on the others. lol

I had Louise's Country Closet make a hen saddle for Honey and it fits her so good!

I have 3 babies today so far, and one I am sure is a tom, he has size 12 feet already!

That's great! Congrats!

Here is today's activity.

I know I have too many fuzzy butt pictures too often, but heck, I like fuzzy butts.

Here is a turkey C-section. For some reason my camera is not focusing well today, sorry..





And here is 3 of the four babies I have so far.





Here is the little fellow just minutes after the C-section..

Awesome! I love turkey poults. I have three EE chicks in the brooder in the guest bath and they make more noise, and harsher noise, than 50 turkey poults in the same box!
