A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

Wanton wild woman is outside of the poultry yard tempting my toms. Her nest or poults must have gotten flooded out. She's as goofy as the tame turkeys. She could fly over the 4 ft electric fence she is laying by

It was a nice day today in the banana belt. Got some work done outside. Now, if I could be moist and sunny for the hay season this year, I'd be alright with that.

From 47 to 92! Wow. That's what I call a temperature swing. I didn't think it got that warm there R2elk...
Oh come on Molpet. Let him out of his pen!! She obviously has good taste in toms. She thinks he's prince charming!

Girls were goofing around way in the back of the yard before bedtime. They heard the backdoor open & they all ran flapping & yapping to greet me. They can be so funny. It was a foot race. Iris won. Since horse racing has been suspended...maybe we can start turkey races!

so the couple of times I have stood the eggs upright in the turners of the brinsea to hatch have yielded my best hatch rates?? anyone else have better luck hatching upright? ok part of it could be that I finally got my cabinet incubator dialed in??

I've never had the upright-egg type incubators. I feel like I've had very good hatch rates, of the eggs that weren't clears, especially of my own eggs. So... I dunno. The hen has them lying down. If I want them upright (wonky air cells in shipped eggs) I put an egg carton bottom in the bator with them for a week or so. I'm sure they work very well in the upright ones, too.

Other than the goose eggs that I did recently, I only do upright in my cabinet incubator.

R2elk...do you have geese??

Used to. Not anymore. It was a brief lapse in judgement that the neighbors were happy to take off my hands this time.

Some of my best stories are from when I had geese, even the story that I can't tell anyone.
