A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

Oh my what a beautiful baby. What kind you got there?

I personally believe Ralphie adores dux. Maybe they snubbed him?

Turkey eggs are cooking, yay they fit my turner. This makes me happy. Pretty speckled things they are.

Turkeys or DUX.......Place your bet....

I thought I had a bronze hen....what do the bronze semi color semi gray look like?

photo from last fall

she had her choice of 3 toms
a nari .. babies should be bronze or nari..
a red bronze.. babies should be bronze or red bronze..
and a calico.. babies should be nari semi color semi gray or bronze semi color semi gray or golden nari or red bronze..
so one has hatched a day early and I have a yellow poult with gray smudges on its back... What color might it be?
I assume the calico is the daddy and the hen is hiding something

I think I know the answer, but wanted to double check with you all in hopes of being pleasantly surprised - My bator is on day 13, and suddenly I have a broody mama on day 2 of setting. When hers hatch, I won't be able to give her the 11 day old bator poults, right?

Would love a response on this if anyone knows.

you can try it , but usually they see the older as a threat to the younger.. but some hens love everybody

Got home from work annnnd

Two little soggy poults resting up and drying off!

After 12-18 hours can I open the incubator very quickly to get any dried off hatched ones or is turkey lockdown a leave em be for 2-3 days? Seems like it’ll get very crowded soon!

Ablyn thinks he is a doggy. Or a human.

I leave them, but I'm the most inexperienced hatcher of the group.
