Duckling Diaries: the Life and Times of a Welshie Trio

If I find a stolen nest I just throw the eggs, but I have 2 turkey hens broody in one nest,,,,and all the chickens like to sit on top of them and lay their eggs.


So the eggs end up under the turkeys, who hiss and bitch at me when I try to get the chicken eggs ..... Two turkeys on one nest never ends well....

The other day I lifted one of the turkeys off the nest and she had a chicken egg in her arm pit,,,,,that is asking for balut when I crack it,,,being not so bright.... I never marked that egg

Careful, your turkeys might get smart and all start stashing eggs in their armpits. Broodies on the go, eh.

Yeppers, the only good thing is they are both royal palms, so they are small....if they were bronze or slates....I would just give up...

Too funny!! I should confess ralphie I do love to turkey hunt. How can you like turkeys and not dux? Love that double bearded Jake on my wall! Well I did anyway until the mice got in and tore it all up.

How big are the palms?

Maybe 8 pounds dressed, so 12-15 live weight, my PC roosters are about the same size
