Well, out of the 11 turkey eggs that made it to lockdown, 9 have pipped. They are not due for another 48hrs but on the overall scheme of things, being that they get an extra week on Chickens, I guess they're not that early. No sign from the chicken egg yet though - kinda defeats the point if all the turkeys hatch first as the chicken is supposed to be a trainer chick haha! If I do this again next year, I think I'll set the chickens and turkeys together. I am getting waaaay too anxious for my own good though, I noticed the first pip at 7am and it's now 6.30pm and there's still no sign of a zip

Am really worried and have decided that for now, I don't actually like incubating eggs

No pip...no peep....and it is very very hard not to open the bator...I have pip envy...

Nothing to be envious about - it's driving me insane! It's 10.30pm here right now. I now have 10 eggs pipped - but NONE zipped! The first to pip I noticed at 7am - it could have piped HOURS before this but it's made no progress and I'm really worried

I've decided that if there's still no sign of a zip by the time I get up in the morning, I'm going to take that first egg to pip out and try to help it.

I have advised many people to hold tight and let nature take it's course. Promising myself that I'll help in the morning is the only thing stopping me going in there right now

I can't get over how utterly obsessed I've become and today has NOT been pleasant

Dammit! PLEASE let me have a poult by morning

Dang! What a cutie! My family just went and got me some woosah...alcohol. I don't drink a lot, but today has been very stressful with lock down coming, a sick hen, and and treating chicks due to losing one to cocci. I really just need to relax. I think I did what a lot of newbies do. I took on too much right at first. But I so love them!

I want pips!! lol

Please keep posting pics! It makes us all smile!
