They're coming from Pennsylvania. I'll read the article, thanks!

Thats far for hatching eggs, I pray they only send you fresh eggs! note air cell size when you get them! I never order eggs farther than a neighboring state, horrible on the eggs and most times you cant count on them sending fresh eggs :( praying yours come perfecto!!
 
Quote: Pretty sure they'll be no more than a few days old. It's an egg swap between cyber peafowl friends, so all we'll be out is the shipping and our time. It'll be a good experiment for both of us.

good call on the swap! awesome!

She was really nice and just offered to send them to me if I paid for shipping. Not sure how many she's sending, but they're all colors I don't have - white, silver pied and pied, I think. All I can send her are plain-ole India Blue.

Ugh! I have a turkey with mareks disease. Now I have to put down a 20lb turkey tom (he used to be 40lb), not a happy day.

On a brighter note, my muscovy mamma hatched 16 out of 17 eggs! Gotta get a freezer.

So sorry... I know turkeys can get it, but it's pretty rare, I think. Call your local avian pathologist and ask them if they'd be interested in doing a necropsy on him, I bet they would be. If you decide to necropsy him yourself, be sure to take lots of those good pictures that you're so good at taking.

we where lucky with my grams with mareks disease because her flock was very big but the one time we did get it (through the addition of a new breed) it wiped out half her flock of 70+ at the time it really sucked that this happened to your turkey just make sure to clean everything where he lived or you may get it back. good luck and congrats on the ducklings
