Looks like a good spot to stay hidden. If i had a tree like that it would be a coon or bee magnet. Sending you and Lizzie good vibes on a successful hatch.

Well...nothing broody here.
Ralph, I'm getting a kick out of Lizzie and her tree! Pictures are a must!
I wonder if the year can have anything to do with it, when I candled the other day I was disappointed in what I saw, thinking I should see more development than I did and my turkey hatch rates have been in the cellar.
I wonder if the hens protein intake has something to do with it. I buy a 28% Game bird breeder flock feed for them, it is crumbles. They do not like it. they eat the chickens layer feed instead, it is a mash. I cannot find a Game bird breeder mash around here. I think I will talk to the mill the next time I am there.
I also buy 50 lb bags 28% game bird feed and they can't stand the crumbles but I also buy 100 lb bags of 18% grower feed from my local mill. I mix the two together and everyone eats it all. It must mix just right and comes out to just over 21% protien.
So this is becoming a bad habit that I really need to break. Once again, I'm late going in to lockdown. It's been such s busy week and they're due tomorrow and once again, I open the 1202 to find a poult wandering around on the bottom. I think this is the 3rd time I've done this and I can't even count how many times I've had pipped eggs moving to the hatcher lol
