Well I received some good news. I called a local breeder of Bourbon Red turkeys to see if she had any toms she would be willing to part with for my two BR hens. She told me she has an 8 month tom that I can have for $35

as she was going to butcher him this upcoming Friday because she didn't need him for breeding. So now I hope to be able to get some turkey eggs for the
Second Annual Cinco DE Mayo Turkey Hatchathon

Nice score!

we welcome you, there are a couple that will be setting a little early or late. All the fun is in the sharing of stories, events, and knowledge. I learn something new almost everyday!!!!!!

Where did you see this?

GOOD THURSDAY MORNING! I was up half night digging up and fixing our septic tank. Kinda. I have it working now. So much rain here had everything saturated. But it had a piece of a rig for a pipe. Ugggghhh. I can not stand for someone to half do something. And we have more rain coming in. I have to put. Piece of pipe in and cover tonight after I help coach my youngest son soccer game at 7,after working all day. Oh yea all by SHOVEL. I will probably rent or borrow a backhoe and uncover the whole thing to examine it later on.Makes me wonder how many more short cuts and rigs I will find. They did more work rigging than getting the proper piece of pipe and putting it in there. Wrong pipe, that they rigged was collapsed and the other piece they had it stuck into was a piece of terracotta pipe which was 2 inches bigger so they did not line up. Ugghhh! And was letting dirt into distribution box!! Yes by now you can probably tell I have installed a few septic systems. Sorry for Ranting..... you guys are awesome!!

I am getting ready for the hatch. I have about 60 + eggs on incubation now. And will set for the hatch. How in the world do I keep coming up with more eggs to hatch.lol I can not resist. I keep the ones I want and give or sell the others. Serious chicken math. Wish the feed did also, I would really be over run with chickens. Have a good day!
