My two surviving Bourbon red poults have hatched and are in the brooder! That one looks like it's truely enjoying being out of the shell lol. I have an almost 4 week old chick in with them to teach them to eat and drink. Is it like monkey see, monkey do?

thank you. Both still look good this morning. One is zipping, the other is still absorbing. I use a hova bator with a turner for most of the incubation and it runs great and keeps a good steady temp. For hatching, I have a little giant. I know they're not that great but in the past, it has...

I did. I opened a small hole through each shell, in the air pocket, after candeling really good. I checked for movement before I went any further. I nudged them to see if they would move at all. They were all gone. I'm just hoping my Temps stay stable tonight and these last two make it. Thanks...

So disappointed :/ this morning, when I woke up and my Temps were 95 again, I still had 4 of 6 turkeys eggs moving around in their shells. Well, there was a power outage today for a good 2 hours and my Temps dropped down to 85. I guess it was just too much. I checked them tonight because I was...

Ok, thanks for that. Now I won't be as worried if they don't hatch out tonight lol

I have my first pip! I've never hatched turkeys before so I've been a nervous wreck with this hatch. Especially with my temp issues. Do excited to see some progress :) They're not even due until tomorrow evening!

yep lol, that's from princess. We called the one chunky monkey for a while because he was so much bigger than the others. Over time, he became big bird lol. He's still bigger than all the others at 9 weeks old lol. I think both big speckled eggs are from princess. Her color sprayer was probably...

that one must be from Princess then. She's had some babies with racing stripes like that. it would be 1/4 brahma and 3/4 marans. I have 2 right now that were from princess that had racing stripes as babies. One featherd out like a wheaten Marans but with extra color, the other feathered out...

Congratulations! Do youthink anymorewill hatch? If they're all from the same pullet's eggs and are blue/black, I'm going to assume that they're from Lucky, the big blue girl. She was still laying the little pullet eggs. that means that daddy was most likely my Black Copper Marans Joel, making...

that's adorable. I couldn't trust any of my dips with a baby that little. One would straight up kill it (husky. She'd keel any adults if she got the chance), one has that drive to hunt small things so ha couldn't do it (terrier mix), and my bulldog is just too big and clumsy lol. She loves the...

This stupid incubator is KILLING me! It dropped down to 95 again last night! I got it back up to 98 again but still. I'm so excited for this hatch and it's messing with me :/

Yay! Glad to hear they're starting to pop out! I can't wait to see the pictures :) It's comforting to know that I probably didn't lose them all. I do know that one has internally pipped already. I've been hearing it in there scratching and wiggling.

Is it normal to not be able to see much of any movement in Turkey eggs just before hatch? I know that you're not supposed to open the incubator or anything during lockdown but mine doesn't lose humidity or temp when I do it so I did a quick candle. today is day 26 and of the 6 I have in...

I was hoping you'd get more than that :/ at least you got a few to lockdown. You'll have to post pictures after hatch.

no, the ones I got from you won't go into lockdown until next week. These are a few Bourbon reds I found locally. How many of the eggs from me made it to lockdown?

My turkey eggs went into lockdown yesterday. My hatcher didn't want to cooperate and I just managed to get the temps stable a little bit ago. But, they seem to be rocking and rolling already

I'm getting excited for this! My turkeys go on lockdown on Sunday. My first turkeys ever!

I candled my 6 turkey eggs that I set for this HAL. All 6 are developing! Not only developing but moving and grooving like crazy inside! So excited!

Hahaha! If only lol

wow, that's a long way to drive. I barely survived my drive but then again, I had 2 cranky kids with me. I picked them up from the bus stop and we left right away lol
