I don't understand it... that incubator has plenty of room but noooo those turkeys want to be right on top of each other.

We're all going to be following that incubation Chick Whispers. Then Bama will be a grandpa right?

SCG do you think the turklets may be cold and that's why they are piling up. Give them a quilt or something.

Huge turkeys.
I say ponchos instead of a quilt.

I'll get some better pictures for you later, but here's the 3 hatchlings crammed into the incubator:

The one in front did get bruised/bloody, not really sure how, on the wing.


And then the one that I de-shelled, which started to stand, although assisted, immediately:

He was probably trying to scoot or crawl and bumped it. But they are very cute. The Sweetgrass have a dark stripe down their backs like this one. They are very cute!

They do that to keep warm it's their instinct. I have a heat lamp on them and mine still do it.

Sorry, I'm only making quilts for human use. I'm about halfway done my birdhouse quilt!

SCG, I seriously think the turkey ponchos would be a hit.

More bunny footage.

I think I can see 8 kits.

I see five black bunnies in the very beginning.... and three white mixed... I tried before and couldnt catch the beginning.
