Luke, here's my incubator all set. Had to fold some paper to hold some of the smaller eggs in so looks a little messy.

The little ones at the top are the Yokohama, them the numbered ones are mine. The rest are the Terry Hill eggs which I guess I'll see what I'll get from.

Looks fantastic Pinky!! I'm hoping you have a better hatch from the yokohama.

I got my first Turkey egg today! Yays. And after the hen laid it, she promptly put a toe through it, lol.

I asked my little boy to shell some pigeon pea pods for me, and shell he did!

I have plenty, so if you would like some seeds just pm your postal address.
I am sure I can send the seeds to QLD, NSW and VIC, but other states have some quarantine restrictions, so not sure.

I've never heard of them. What do they grow into? Shrub? Annual? I'm guessing they get eaten by the chooks?

Pigeon pea is a shrub, but not a dense type, can grow up to 2m high. It is a subtropical/tropical plant that originated in India and Pakistan. Original indian dhal is made from pigeon pea. Great forage for the chooks, makes good mulch, living trellis for climbing plants, good kindling/ fire starter, nitrogen fixer for the garden....
I grow it as perennial, but in colder areas it is an annual plant. I use unripe peas in cooking, but I don't like the pods. Hard as leather I shell them.
I am yet to try the mature seeds in cooking.
