You're lucky howfunky! Must be your climate there. I have no drafts, but I think central air system has a big effect on the drying out of the bator. I've even closed vents to the room. No change. I'll try a different, smaller room next year.
I know how you feel Sclark. I drive my family nuts! They just don't understand. Then they wonder why I spend all my free time on these forums. Lol!

I have to wait until next year, and I'm not sure which hatchery these people get them from. What happens is they wait for enough amount of requests to order the turkeys and order them through a hatchery I guess I could do the same but I don't know very many people in the city who want to raise turkeys lol Yes, bad business on the hatchery. I can't believe they lost the invoice, then sold all the poults after charging for them. UGH! Also, if this is the same hatchery they get their chickens from, I was sold barred rocks, only to find out they were black sex links, sold as araucanas, only to find out they were Ameraucanas, and a RIR which is - well - not sure. New Hampshire, more than likely a hybrid with RIR in it & I had to put down my BO at 2 years of age (because of internal laying).... My friend has true RIR and they're 8 years old, that lay eggs every single day. The only hen that now lays an egg for me every day is my black sex link, all her eggs hatched too. I just got lucky with her. They are all around age 2 and they only lay 2-3 times a week - the first year I had them they were laying every day.. I am done with hatcheries for good. Backyard breeders from here on out.
