I could be a problem with that or it could be a genetic defect or problem with the breeding flock. I'm sorry you had to go through that

The very generous suppliers and a friend whose idea of a "couple" of eggs (turned out to be dozen) is how I ended up with 42 eggs! Good luck - that is a lovely mix you have started

just curious CoopDeDoo, in your profile pick....is that an owl with the baby chicks? or am i just crazy. I don't know if you've said or not, but everytime I see your pic I think that, lol

It is an owl - there was a news article a couple of years ago from a German zoo or wildlife center ( can't remember which) that had an owl that was determined to hatch and since her eggs weren't fertile, they gave her chicken eggs. She successfully hatched them and then became very confused because the chicks didn't want to eat the regurgitated food she kept trying to feed them

I 'll try to see if I can find the article.

I just got my Turken eggs in the mail today Can't wait to get home from work and break them open they are a surprise for my oldest son I am not going to tell him what they are until they hatch. So fingers crossed they do hatch seem to be decently hatched.
