I have 2 setting in a wooded field area and I have NO idea when the hatch day is, so I have to check AM & PM.

I set fifty five or thereabouts eggs last Saturday. Twenty five of them Standard Bronze and the remainder Midget Whites.
I'll candle them next week and if I have a good development percentage start selling hatching eggs afterwards.
Well, it seems I was wrong. I did not set 55 turkey eggs after all. In fact it was 62. I recounted them last night when I did the ten day candle. The amazing thing about it though is that every single one of them appears to be developing!
We're going to be overrun with poults by the end of the month if the hatch percentage is good.
And the final result was:We did the twenty fifth day candle last night. Only found three quitters out of the sixty two set. Fifty nine into the hatching trays. One had already begun to pip!

Fifty five of fifty nine hatched. Slight edge to the Midget Whites but not by much.
Now I get to clean the incubator (then the brooders, then the...)
Oh wow! those are such cute little babies. She was such a good momma too trying to lure the snake away.
My hen and tom are still sitting on their nests. Now they are rotating the eggs between the 2 nests. There is a total of 19 eggs under there and we have 3 recent ones in the incubator. My other girl just lays her eggs where ever. I have no clue when the tom and his lady's eggs will hatch. I am hoping soon because I find babies so dang cute.
