First Annual Cinco de Mayo Turkey Hatchathon- Join us! Set Day: Easter

[NotAFarm]

Looks like each turkey is going to have it's own personal tutor,

with substitutes to give the regular tutors a break!!

Well, I just had to give candling a try tonight. I just checked a couple eggs, but I saw action in most of them I checked. All of the Wishard Bronze I candled had veins (I checked 3). I checked 1 Black -winged Bronze and saw veins, and 1 Bourbon Redand saw nothing. I just took a quick iPhone pic but I might get out my nice camera, as these were way easier to check than chicken eggs.

That's really cool! I can't believe how much you can see already!

I set Sunday at 11:00 CST. My kids are sleeping at grandpa's house tonight because it is spring break. Tomorrow when they are home I will candle a couple more and try to get a pic with my good camera and see how well it works. I am using a candling box I built a couple of months ago.

I check temp and humidity once or twice a day. No candling for me until around day 10.

Schunn -- Congrats on the prize over at the Easter hatch!

Have we gotten a final tally on the number of chicks hatched fro the Easter yet? My curiosity is killing me! Anyone know?

Still waiting on the final tally on the Easter hatch. I think SCG is trying to track down the people who haven't reported their numbers. That has got to be a pain.

BTW Wisher, that book looks really cool

We are working on a week three contest, it will probably be announced today once we get the details down. Week four is still open and since some people are setting a week late we might do a week 5 contest so no one is left out.

Could we create a guessing game on number of turkeys hatches and number of chicks hatched as a tie breaker? Sorry, I would be useless to run a contest as I have dial up and can't see some of the pics and grids.

But we are more likely to get everyone to post the total than on the Easter Hatch . . .

Just tossing out ideas. OR should that be tossing in ideas.
