Good morning...all

I have a mystery of the world with me today.

I went to the incubators this morning to move my turkey eggs that hatch this week to the hatcher.

I heard a weird sound coming from inside one of the incubators. I was afraid for a few seconds I had pulled an Aurora and forgot to move eggs to the hatcher. I knew this had to be wrong, as I have never made a mistake and that would be one.


I found this inside the incubator running around on the bottom.



This was weird to find in my incubators!

I decided to check the eggs on the off chance I made a mistake. I found every egg clearly marked with "14" on them, they are next weeks hatch like I thought.

I did find one egg broken open, I am assuming, considering this is the only broken open egg, and as it is marked for as an Appltini" egg and the chick looks like an appletini chick. It came from that egg.

As you can see here it is marked properly with a "14".




Now I have a few questions

1) what is going on here?
2) How did this happen?


I checked every egg in the immediate area of this shell and they all look to be a week from hatching. I checked the other incubators, None are close to hatching.

Occam's Razor demands I take the simplest and most logical answer,

I have stumbled upon a strain of Appletini's that incubate for only 2 weeks!




Also I have found this chick extremely needy ( a pullet no doubt).

I have no other chicks her age to put her with. so I put her in a box with a heat pad. She will not shut up unless she is out of the box.


She is very happy when exploring strange objects




Like all young kids these days she loves a keyboard and the internet.



Her favorite position is in my hand. She is quiet and will almost sleep when I comforted by my reassuring hands. Of course, who isn't comforted around me?




Right now I have her back in her brooder box. She is not happy and calling me some pretty nasty names in chickesse. I have no idea what I am going to do with this marvel of nature. If any of you work for a university willing to study her, come and get her...




So weird!

More likely a broody sat on her for a while and then you gathered it and set it.... Or you wrote the wrong date on it. Occam's razor would cringe at your idea.
