Oh CRUD

the turkey eggs that Ebony has been on look to have not been fertal!

There was no development at all.

Also the silkie eggs that I have under Big Burtha.... 4 were not fertal eather.

So I am thinking of slpiting the remainder of the 8 silkie eggs between the two ladies.

DH spells & pronounces it as "MAG-AN-NET"

So now I could not remember how to correctly spell it !!!

Try living through waiting for a broody Polish of all breeds to live through AND successfully hatch out a clutch of chicks on the outside of the pasture/pen fence boundaries. Luckily after this rain she's proven to me that whereever she is, it is dry, but predators? -- Really really hope such a threat never happens! I cringe just thinking about it, but even if I did find her clutch, I wouldn't really want to move her. There's Tolbunt eggs under her, already at least a week in development.

Just such just happened here with 2 broody Beltsville Small White Turkeys hens.............they were dead set on brooding under a plywood sheet, WAY up the hill.
So we went in & pounded 4 T posts in & surrounded their nest area, and added food & water & cut another hunk of fence wire to cover the new turkey "corral"
Crows were the worst issue, stealing eggs right out from the hens. working in two's...one crow distracts, the other grabs an egg.
I felt alot better after we "enclosed" them.

Thank you! yes this site has been a great help to me!

Mine are all 3-4 weeks (millions of them) and I am too far south of you.

Hello there. I do not frequent his thread, but it seems very active.

I am wondering if their is any vet in my area, Pyuallup, that would do swab testing. I believe I have a respiratory thing going on. I have been doing research and I want to know exactly what I am dealing with. Thank you in advance for any advice,

You can actually do the test yourself & take the swab directly to the Avian Health lab, right there on Pioneer Way in Puyallup.
PM me if ya need more info.

There are a few breeders up that way, Tailfeathers is located in Granite Falls & has quite a few nice breeds.
WA4-HPoultryMom is located in Monroe & has really nice birds as well.
RainWolf is in Wallingford area of Seattle, not too far from you either.I think she had chicks not too long ago.
