Either would work.  I'm not picky.  Never had turkeys before.

I will add you to the list for when they start laying.

Those of you who incubate, is it hard? I've never done it and would like to one day. What is the best kind of incubator to get for a beginner?

@wday ~ I would love some Jubilees! I will happily settle for some BBS Orps for starters though. I have 3 hatchery Buff Orps, and love them!

Incubating is not hard, but it does require a lot of attention. My best hatches were achieved in an incubator I built myself. I would highly recommend getting one with a fan as it keeps the temperature consistent all around the egg. An automatic turner is not a necessity, but it sure makes things easier. Most importantly, keep a close eye on your humidity. Hope this helps.

The brinsea are plug and play. The LG will make you crazy. Unless you have it in a room where the temp stays the same all the time

I know this is a longshot but I'm looking for a Black Australian Swan cygnet to purchase. I hatched one out 5 weeks ago. It needs company. Anyone know of local breeders? Thanks.

I've had several hatches in my homemade incubator. We were able to build it for about $30 verses the more expensive "reliable" baters. I've been able to fit as many as 50 in there as a staggered hatch. I do have to pay Attention to the humidity the most. My last hatch was from Ladycat, 9 hatched of 12 that had shown development.
