Wow. Good luck with that. I just have 3 red stars, 2 australorps, and an EE, but I have to rehome the australorp cockerel soon or the neighbors will have a fit!

I know exactly where that is. Wondered why it closed, guess that explains that huh? Just had some of my eggs hatch.

2 May. 2 turkeys hatched, doing good. Noticed a pip before work, Frances said two hatched while I was gone.

3 May. Remaining turkey hatched. So of 5 geese, 1 hatched. Of 5 Turkeys, I opened 2 good eggs, effectively killing them because I miscalculated their hatch date and the other three hatched. I know the mom was the Red based on the eggs, and looks like the dad was the Spanish Black.

Have Turkey and goose eggs and 12 chicken eggs in the incubator to hatch 13 May.
Another batch is due to hatch 24 May. I just put 24 chicken eggs in to hatch with them. Also put in 4 goose and 9 turkey eggs that will hatch a week after that. Been collecting some, and tonight I found a turkey nest in the chicken area, had 6 turkey eggs, 5 Red and 1 Slate and one chicken egg. Also got another goose egg so I put them all in the incubator. All the chicks seems to be doing good. Need to look at the calendar and figure out which dates I’m taking things to the auction. I’ll probably sell the 4 Rhode Island reds, if Jeanne will let me, and the goose. Hesitant to sell the goose until I get more to hatch out.
Have a lady wants me to mail her day old chicks, which I have never done before. Also not sure about the numbers, she only wants 11 and I think the minimum to send is 25 to keep them themselves warm. Have to do some more checking.

Are you putting geese, chicken and turkey eggs altogether in the incubator? The reason I wonder is because from everything I have read, geese need more humidity than chicks. ~Joelle~

It's a long story, but I've got to track down some peacocks.

You don't have any of those sitting around do you?

No, I have several incubators. The geese are in one, and the turkeys and chicken eggs are together in the others. I did have turkey and goose eggs together, and they did well. OK, a problem with the geese eggs, but that was more from being infertile than anything. But all 5 of the turkeys developed, and if I haven't miscalculated the hatch date and opened 2 turkey eggs, I'm sure they all would have hatched. The other 3 turkey chicks are doing great.

Hi, seems like I stepped in a little late. I'm in KC. I've been wanting to find some farmers/people with connections to them, to find somewhere to buy naturally and processed raised meat birds(covering my chickens' ears). I think I have a lead on a side of beef. And I have a huge deep freeze just waiting to be filled up with meat.

Anyway, good to meet you all!
