I know there has to be something special with that egg other than being the 1st of the year.

LOL nope most years the first egg appears on St Patrick's day.... but I'm part Irish... do you think they know

Then they have large open pens for raising attached to a large pasture for free ranging in. I keep my breeding stock separated by sex Hens/Toms during most of the year except for spring mating. I have many smaller breeding pens to separate by variety with 1 tom for 5 or 6 hens each pen. I use dog houses 1 in each breeding pen for their nesting boxes.

Wow, your place is turkey heaven. I can't imagine where I could put up the overhead netting, it's perfect. I'm going to try and find a place where there are no tree limbs overhead, least while they are small enough for a hawk to take. I love how much grass they have.

I keep seeing breeding but have yet to find an egg. There is a good chance they may be hiding a next already, however.

Yes, if not I'm sure they will be laying anytime now.

Have you been having a lot of cloudy overcasts days last few weeks or is this normal timing in your area?
