If I were you, I would be reading hardcore about hatching BCMs. I'm pretty tempted to start reading myself. Lol. If I come across anything worth reading, I'll send it your way. Take lots of notes on each hatch so you can start eliminating things you've already tried and look for areas where you can try something new. I'm sure that's all pretty obvious, but I love taking on a challenge and they seem pretty challenging, so far. And I know you think this is not "blue" but it would be really interesting to see the results if you sanded half the eggs and then compared the results from each half.

I wish we would have talked about this sooner. I've dumped so much liter in the woods. Between the chick batches and the peachicks, I could have had the run filled a couple months ago! I think it will be better for winter too. As the ground freezes here and I was worried about frost bitten toes. I think it will help for them to be walking around on a barrier layer between the ground.

There is plenty of time to cover the ground before winter. Just think life will be so much simpler. Now you will have saved alot of time, you can be on here even more!

75% BCM and shipped. 85% all others. We will consider yours shipped since you drove so far to get them

Ah, ok, I forgot the percentage. Guess I need 21 then. Now I'm not holding my breath.

Come spring, I would like to do a comparison hatching. I'm thinking BCM, CM, BLRW, LO, Buckeye, SLW, etc.

I will fill up the GQF and operate it exactly to manufacturer's recommendations, with auto turner on and rock steady incubation temp of 100F.

Doing so will reduce many variables, and I can partition the eggs off for hatching to determine hatch success.

Since the GQF will hold a couple hundred eggs, I'd limit the test eggs to one setting tray, which is around 70 eggs between two plastic flats. That will further reduce variations in temperature and humidity.

I would be happy to buy the eggs outright unless someone wants to trade turkey hatching eggs or EE. I'll fill up the tray with local eggs, or even my own hen eggs, as a control.
