[Cyprus]

How big is your door?
We're actually looking to build a pallet coop for the turkeys...SavKel found this...

Put a few sticks so they can brood high and call it a day!

Coop is 8x8. The door is 7ft tall, around 2 ft wide.

Good morning, everyone!
Here's a bit of a story to get your day going

I have two coops of chickens; the old layers and the new layers. The old layers have a run and free range everyday. The new layers have neither, so I kicked them outside yesterday to forage.
Well, to do that meant they couldn't get back into their coop without someone opening the barn door. I had a meeting and was out until 10pm last night. So, I had my brother open the barn door so the new layers could go back in their coop. At the same time, the old coop is open for the old layers to return.
I get home, go to check and see that everybody is accounted for. Apparently, the new layers all decided to join the old layers in their coop. They were all jockeying over the best place to roost. There were seven hens vying for a spot on a 2' long roost. Guess they're all buddies now and I now have one larger flock and an empty coop!

There ya go! You've got a turkey coop already!

That is about right for day 4 on turkey eggs. I candled last at day 3 and saw what you show there. Today is day 5 (of my most recent batch, I a doing staggered) and just now see spiders. What you see is a good sign because I just checked all 8 of my May 9th eggs and 2 are clear with no dark blob like yours.

And for kicks, I added a pic of my Day 16 turkey eggs. He was wiggling around in there.

Thanks for this! Glad to know they're on track
I set X on May 9th so it should be just about on track with yours if it develops.

Good morning everyone. I forgot to candle last night. A quick a candle this morning reveals nothing new in any of the eggs.

Maybe tonight you will see something?

Hopefully. W is looking very good. Not quite the same as the others.

Egg W is a particularly handsome egg. And I had a devil of a time finding this thread, since apparently the site doesn't want me to see new posts on it any more.
