Hey. Hopefully one of y'all can help me. I just ordered turkey eggs and wanted to double check hatching recomendations. I hatch a lot of chicks, using the dry hatch method and temp is right at or just below 100. Is this okay for turkeys as well?

What is "scrying"?
I thought it said "crying" at first. lol silly me; I've been looking at my computer screen too long. lol

Yeah!
I'm still waiting for eggs.
My friend is giving some to me. I think we're still waiting for them to start laying, then she's going to collect for two weeks before we start hatching any, so I have a while to wait.
What was that we were saying about waiting?????

Scrying with a pendulum.. like a crystal on the end of a necklace chain.. it can really be anything though. Basically in a nutshell- it works on the premise that we already know everything and are all connected etc. you hold your pendulum, ask the question, watch it swing.....swing one way means yes, another way means no. some people use a "maybe" answer too.. its very accurate for some people. Like the water witches that find spots to drill wells using willow branches or brass rods.

Shes really pretty ! What breed is she? (I'm going to guess and see if I'm right) Is her beak too long on top or is that normal? I'm new ....

Yes it is way long. I didn't want to really stress her out right after I brought her home, but plan in filing it some tomorrow. I will try to get better pictures too. She is a Blue Slate

yay I guessed right. you can clip that end off a little with some nail clipper I think and save some filing? Sounds like she has a good home now.

Quote: If you clip it be REALLY careful. She looks like she's had very poor nutrition previously, and sometimes their beaks will be very brittle. Be sure the clipper blades are new and very sharp, and don't trim it down to the normal length, just enough that it won't likely break on its own with normal use. She will wear the rest down on her own.

my grandfarther could tie a string around a small rock the hook the other end of the string to a stick

with just those items & a map of a property he could tell you where to drill for water

how deep to go down & how many gallons per/min. you would get & he was dead on.

so yes with the rite person it can give good results




now on to turkey talk

my bronze girl started laying last week

can i figure on about 6 eggs a week all spring?

how long into the summer will she keep it up?



thanks
