Two hatched and one to go!

[Heatherwicz]

So a while ago our silkie chicken had found some turkey eggs and started to brood on them. She originally had 5 but 2 were duds. The whole time we’ve been planning on the poults coming at any time, not knowing which turkey hen is the mother of which egg. Well today two hatched! Safe to say we can assume one is a barred slate, fitting since it’s a blue silkie that hatched them

We are waiting for the third mystery egg to hatch, I’m guessing there is no way to find out who truly was the mom until the feathers come in, right?

The two mentioned mother’s;

With daddy himself;
