@igorsMistress Now that my rooster is a daddy, let me know when he's a grandpa!

I tried to see if any ccl mixes hatched, but not yet. I'm really curious to see how those come out!

@igorsMistress I sure do hope that the rest of them have hatched by now. Mine aren't due to hatch until Tuesday.

Ironically, I was thinking about checking, so now I'm checking

Only the 2 so far. She wouldn't let me look at the eggs to see if any have pipped

Ok, I have to go get some sleep now, so I'll see if you have the good new's after I wake up.

Last night I set up the 5 new Turkens and 5 CornishX in an outdoor brooder. It’s hot during the day so no additional heat is needed then. I hate the heat lamp giving off light all night, so this time I tried the heating pad cave. It worked great! Why didn’t I do this before?! Lol
Anyhow, it’s a definite close second to using a broody hen. Looking forward to happy healthy meat birds and a few extra naked necks.

Soooooo.... I have total chick fever and have wanted a white male turken for quite some time. Went in today to buy feed and TSC had straight run turkens. ... I bought 5 of the lightest colored with the least amounts of bow tie. Fingers crossed! They look peach colored in the sun but they were much lighter than the obvious red chicks. So excited!!

Looks like the wing feathers are white. You should be able to spread them out in a few days to see if any grey or black is coming in...but..you just may have some whites. They are usually a bit yellowish at hatch.

Here's our 2 babies out of the nest for the first time. Sorry for the poor quality in the last pic, but the chick was squirmy. I love the difference in feathering.

A few photos of my favorite white girl of all time. She was big!
