We have some BR eggs in the incubator now, I'll have to check the calendar to see when they are due but should be in soon, we have some to stop turning today or tomorrow. How many do you want?

So glad you saw this and contacted us. This is the reason we made this topic for a reminder to everyone.
Oh and how are your Beltsville turkeys doing?

The Beltsville are doing great. I have decided that I am more of a trio and not two pair person so I am going to have to find the Tom a home. If you know anyone looking a adult Beltsville Tom. I have one for sale. His hen likes my Tom better anyways. The Maran Eggs I got hatched 11 out of 14 pretty good. My incubator quit and the last three to hatch were still in there drying they did not make it. Have 6 roos and two Hens. Oh I was supposed to get 4 Bourbon Poults.

Hi Steve! It was a gorgeous day... not to hijack, but here's a couple of links for you. We actually made it there in time to see the last 4 teams take off on the "ceremonial start". The actual start is tomorrow in Willow, which is almost another 100 miles north of Anchorage.

Steve,

Do you still have the eggs available in late April/ early May? I'm going out of town until then?

Hey S and S - I have a totally self serving question. You ever get over to Asheville? I am still not happy with my hatching skills and decided to wonder at you...

If not then I keep practicing on these free eggs til I get it right... then order from you.

My confidence in my ability to hatch in the homemade bator isn't high at this point. Practice tinker, practice.

Asheville is to high up for us lowland people.

We haven't been out that way in years. You don't know anybody coming to the beach this year do you? We had quite a few people stop by last year on the way home, and one that picked up some poults on the way down (they weren't coming back the same way), they said they even took the poults down to the beach, we were supposed to get pics but never did, I bet they were classics. I could just picture that on an NC beach vacation add "come to the beach in NC, don't mind the turkeys"
