I would love to see peoples reaction seeing you take a 50 lb turkey for a walk

vehve your ginger ale looks great! Ron sounds like you like the home made drinks vs store bought.

Check out my new chicken harness. Oh wait no Turkey harness. lol

This turkey is about a month old now and she needs to grow a bit more so the harness will fit. lol

Adorbs......

edited to add: that turkey is going to fit that harness for about a week.... Maybe two.

Bama, me too. Walking an ostrich would be even funnier though...

Most likely that Ostrich would walk you.....

SCG did you still put the turkey egg you cracked in the brinsea? I have had them open for a couple days just had to keep spraying them with warm water to keep them from shrink wrapping.
I wish you a great hatch!

I'm sorry your styrobator died.

My styrobator didn't die... just the temperature fluctuating outside makes it hard to regulate when the inside temperatures fluctuate 50 degrees or more...

I left the turkeys in the incubator, which is a Brinsea, along with the 2 half incubated duck eggs. I came home just a few minutes ago to find one very lethargic, freshly hatched turklet.

The other 3 turkey eggs are in the process of zipping.

Sounds like an awesome hatch SCG!!! e
I gave seven turkey eggs to my two broody hens Saturday afternoon. Hopefully they will stay put and hatch them. I know Broody Biddy will stay put because I didn't try to force her into a brooding box. That always breaks her broody attitude for about a week. I think she was shocked when I gave her the eggs though. This is the first time I let her set. The other hen hasn't gone broody before so she might be a little more iffy about this whole thing.

Felix, I worry about people drinking that stuff and choking on a raisin - okay so I worry a lot.

Chickadoodles, I bet if people saw you walking a grown turkey on a harness, they would all want one. Imagine those celebrities with one instead of a small dog stuffed in their purse. I'm sure turkey walking would be a great trend.

 

[dsqard]

Diva I can't even imagine how much mess you would have in your purse from a turkey. Just sayin'...

Felix said he strained out the raisins and etc before bottling.

oops! I looked back at the picture--I hope those are raisins in there!
