I got my first grey hair when I started dating my ex......does that count?

I got my first gray when I married my husband! Now you have me scared!

Ennis they will be fine to wait until Sunday to set. Just gently turn them a couple of times a day like you would any shipped chicken egg. You don't have to hurry and get them in the incubator.

Only took me 10 years to get rid of him and by then I was almost all grey. Go figure!

I think this turkey hatch is going to make me grey! Doesn't even start for 6 days and I am already in a panic!

Since I got all shipped eggs for the Easter Hatch, I thought about some of my ring-neck pheasants, but the "guy" at the feed store said they would be too small and the turkeys would accidentally kill them. I wouldn't think they would be much smaller than Silkies. Did you have any problems? He also said turkeys and chicks needed different feed, so what do you feed that accommodates both?

I think my silkies were a week or two old when I got my turkeys, they got along fine. Maybe set your pheasants so they hatch out a week before the turkeys? I fed them all game bird starter. Like others have said, the higher protein won't hurt the chicks. I think pheasant chicks are real tiny. Silkies are golf ball size.

Why the panic?

 

[dsqard]

I'm with you SCG, how can you possibly panic BEFORE the eggs are even set? I think we need to tell Ennis the story of Linda's TJ roo.

 

[EnnisLakeFarm]

Why the panic?

Because I imagine the eggs are gonna be old by the time they set, and I worry 'bout the poor little buggers

And it is just in my nature I suppose

In my defense I haven't freaked out too much in the Easter hatch (online anyway) I'll bite, what's the story of Linda's TJ roo?
