If Phoenix is broody, you could just slip the eggs under her. At least you'd know the temp is correct.

The egg is under her. I was checking them last night before bed.

Unfortunately, I've been super exhausted. (Physically and mentally) I went to bed and the family sort of piled on and watched a movie. I dozed. I hope the baby is doing ok. If not, shes going to have to wait 10 more days for Angels eggs.

Ok, anyone on. I just checked Phoes eggs one has a pip in it, but it's at the pointy end and no where near the air cell. Bad? Never has one pip there. Hold it up to the ear and you can hear tapping

How's it going?

How's it going

Haven't checked yet. Just woke up. Will in a bit.

Good news. Chick is alive. Hole is bigger and peeping has been heard loudly. Can't see anything in other 2 eggs. But at least there's one!

I'm pretty sure we are getting turkey eggs. I know have claimed turkey eggs before and they seemed to be just pointy chicken eggs, but now I am much more confident I am seeing turkey eggs.

The middle is the suspected turkey egg, flanked by a chicken egg to the left and a duck egg to the right. We have seen a few others lately just like this middle one.

Maybe... Does it have speckles?

@BReeder! I think you do have a young turkey layer!

It does have some speckles.

It does have some speckles.

It will have a harder shell and tastes richer to me
