Yea Jason would like to get them hatched and see what comes of them... but with the turkeys being penned up at night they dont have access to the "nest" and they must have been doing so good so far since there were 6 eggs and we only have 3 hens.. they were all taking turns on the nest through out the day...

Just PM me with what you have or want for POOPS, I am not posting a list this year but instead have opted to PM when I see a post of wants. every time we have posted a wish list or a what's coming list they get pilfered and bought and sold before the actual event.
I will be posting a general list of things that have been consigned but not by name for the reasons above, I would hope most of our folks could wait till POOPS to do some buying from our own trusted members.

Try moving the eggs in the nest to the location where the hens are penned at night - maybe they will continue to lay in the same place and then when one goes broody, the eggs and hen will be in a secure location. It is still cool enough that you probably don't need to worry about the hen getting too hot inside a building during the day. Of course, they go into such a trance that they don't seem to notice how hot it is where they are located. They are focused.... on hatching eggs.

Why do you have to be so smart! LOL!!

I have basted them together on the simpler, flatter parts, but with the heavy duty fabric reinforcer and several layers of fabric, plus at the handles there is heavy nylon webbing covered in fabric...you get the idea--I couldn't get a needle through all of that if I tried!
