Ah heck just taking a stick into my coop keeps stew my blue cockerel
behaves and I know that

And for this nonsense we pay high taxes!

Seriously I need to get a bumper sticker that says "MY ROOSTER CAN BEAT UP YOUR TURKEY!"

My husband is amazing. He asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I told him I wanted a Hova-Bator and showed him the one I liked on The Incubator Warehouse site. Last night he asked me if that was REALLY the one I wanted. I just chuckled and said that I really wanted a Brinsea but I was being reasonable with my 'want' list this Christmas.

Found out this morning that he got me a Brinsea Mini Eco and asked me if I minded that he didn't get the one with the automatic turner because we both knew I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off of any eggs I was hatching anyway and it would give me something to do if I had to turn them three times a day.

Needless to say I didn't mind at all. It's a BRINSEA for goodness sake. The way I see it I may use the bator two or three times a season for small hatches so this is the perfect incubator for a retired lady to sit and stare at all day! LOL!

I tell people that it took me 52 years to find my sweetheart but he was worth the wait!

You are going to love hatching in a Brinsea. Set and forget. And the small size controls chicken math, or at least makes you hatch more often. Edited to add: you'll have to pick out the colors you'd like for your extra secure long sleeve hatching jacket so you keep out of the incubator.

My turkey in the coop is still broody. I almost lost my hand yesterday but I did feel under there and candle the 2 eggs that were left. One looks pretty full and the other is incubating but way behind. And feels like there's broken eggs under there, as in smashed not hatched.

Any day now, I guess. I should have paid attention but she's a nasty piece of work and I didn't know what was under her for a long time. She rarely gets off the nest and has a huge range with her beak if you get anywhere near the nest boxes. Since it's almost winter I also figured she'd give it up, but guess not.

I started a thread for the new models coming out. I may have to get one of these!

Microchick that is wonderful that your hubby got you the Brinsea.

Scg wow if she's that bad maybe you need a fly swatter to take in the coop with you. If you wave it around she will go after it, while you get the eggs.

if she does hatch one I hope you will post a pic.

Ron I love that pic of the turkey sizing you up.

Yes!

The funny thing is that They are saying his behavior is aggressive...He was actually very friendly.

This just in!

the ongoing Turkey Drama in Davis is taking a new turn--Police are not authorized to capture, relocate and even euthanize Turkeys in downtown Davis!

He's probably so use to people that he's tame. And likely some people have been feeding him. Poor thing, now he think's he's home.
