I would love to see the mix.
I currently have a Bronze tom penned up with my Naragansett hen.
This is her first spring and waiting for her first egg.

the spot im seeing is way to the left, i think the top pic is easiest to see, i do see the white spot but look to the left, vaguely see that disc. i once cracked an egg open and didnt see anything so i thought it wasnt fertile, i flipped the yolk around with a spoon and then saw the disc, it was on the underside i guess

They won't hatch on March 22 if you just put them in! Turkeys take 28 days to hatch, lock down on day 24. don't candle before day 10-14 or you will think they are all duds. They develope slower than chickens. If you have chickens then throw in a few chicken eggs 7 days after you put the turkey eggs in so the chicks will show the poults how to eat and drink to save you some work. Good luck.

A bronze hen with red bourbon tom will give red bronze poults.

Here is a link to turkey candling. http://ucanr.org/freepubs/docs/8134.pdf


I candle early. I can start to see changes in the first few days. The yolk will go to one side and you can see a small embryo at 4 to 5 days if your in total darkness and a hand held mag flashlight. That means dark. No TV, computer screen or mirrors. That makes all the difference. The flashlight need to be small enough to fit flush on the egg.
