I put my turkey eggs on lock down a little while ago. I candled them before I shut they lid. I originally set 6 eggs collected from my turkey hen over 10 days. One was a quitter at about ten days and one I think quit on me about 3-4 days ago. It hasn't changed any in those days and the others obviously have. So out of the five I had left, 4 look pretty good for hatching. I'm expecting pips tomorrow, as both previous times I've incubated turkeys I've found a pip before I locked them down. This time I locked them down at the end of day 24. Guess we'll see how it goes. I don't think they will be very long. In the candling before lock down I saw the poults in 3 of the eggs pushing the membrane up into the aircells. I don't think it's internal pips just yet, but I'm sure it won't be long. Can't wait to get some turkey babies again.
My turkey hen went broody and she is doing well sitting on six of her own eggs. She should be due the first weekend in May.

I got solid lavenders, black, dark dark purple, and idk what to call it... mottled? Anyway, this Spring is turning out to be a blast from a bird perspective!!
