The single hardest part about incubating and hatching eggs...

[RoostersCrow]

The chicks grow up!

About a month ago my DW asked if we could "get a pet turkey"....

Well the order went in, the incubator came out and some Royal Palm eggs went in before she was "even sure if you head me"! Then a week later a dozen of my mutt eggs that I slipped out on the sly went in with them. A week after that 9 silver and six golden Sebrite eggs went it. Now tomorrow, I hope, that batch of 8 goldens will go in to get me my second bloodline.....

I have plenty of room for chicks but what to do with Turkeys and Chickens?

No problem. A nice big brooder and a new coop resolves it all.

Tell that to my DW. She just looks at me and shakes her head....

I just hatched 2 turkeys on my last batch! They are pretty interesting critters!

Good luck with yours!

Hmmm - You need some geese and ducks and guineas, too! Let the guineas free range - no building anything. I'll tell you what to do with them -

Thanksgiving turkey. Christmas Goose. Duck with plum sauce. Guinea is excellent slow roasted.

Some of thso sound like good ideas. Today DW mentioned a peacock! And she says I'm the bad one....

Miss Prissy you could find a way to make Ellie Mae's bisquits sound good.

Soak them in milk and honey. Even bad bread will taste good.
