I can't stand it! Just found this and I'm already 150 posts behind? Does anyone know when we should set Turkey eggs?

where u been woman!

I might be finished hatching by then as it's getting really warm here already. But just in case the weather holds or I really need to do one more batch.....

If nothing else maybe I can get the extra bator set up to do the hatch at work by then; that will be fun; I work with people with developmental disabilities and have been planning to do a hatch with them for awhile. So I might be running two hatches; will have to wait and see how things pan out.

I've been hatching BCM but having a lot of clears from one pen and dead in shells from both. ;-( not positive what's the issue; am rechecking everything but nothing is coming up really wrong.

The English Orp girl might be laying by then or I might still be hatching buff rocks. Again, will have to wait and see.

Did you try switcherROOs? sorry I hope you figure it out, if you need help researching, you know I am good for that

count me in !!!! excited for this one

Loving the photos of the emus!

Wish we could do something other than chickens with this hatch!

Let's see, there's lots of duck, turkey and quail folks here that I'm sure could hook you up.

I lust for your Brahmas,

What's hatching? The eggs in the incubator are Buff Brahma large fowl, Buckeye, Silver Penciled Wyandotte and mixed flock from my egg barn mostly just to test the incubator.

Why won't it operate? I learned a long time ago that I am not in control of what happens, I am more patient if I go into any project very flexible.

updates to follow...........................

I am in! Great chance to do a test run on my Bantam Chocolate laced Polish before I start selling their eggs.

Oooooooh don't talk about Buff Brahmas. I love them.

Welcome! Chocolate laced Polish, is that a project color? I'd love to see what they look like.

Is there a trick to hatching shipped Turkey eggs? I have been told they have a lower hatch rate than shipped chicken eggs but was expecting more than zero - I have set 37 from two different shippers and had one develop and not hatch, the rest did nothing at all. They had loose air cells, I set them in a non-turning Brinsea the first 5 days, then moved them to a Sportsman.
