Those are awesome! I doubt my two girls would let me get them on but wow I wish they would. I hate how heavy and tough he is. First time I saw it happen he looked like he was giving her a massage by walking on her back but after that time he is way more clumsy and hurried it seems. No eggs yet...

Starting to see what you all mean when you talk about your toms. This guy is our first one that reached maturity and he is absolutely obnoxious with his strutting and gobbling. He jumped at our daughter when she turned her back on him the other night. Then again at my husband-which if he had any...

Temps here are single digits. And wind chill is around -10F. Do you all let your birds out when it’s that cold? We have about 2 inches of snow as well. My husband let ours out this afternoon and they all came out but I’m so worried about it being a bad idea.

Looks like they worked things out!! He gave her a back massage then all out bred with her. Hadn’t seen him actually accomplish mating before but there was no doubt he did the job this time. Also noticed the roo mating with our older white silkie. She has started laying again. Guess he figured it...

We have plans to separate the turkeys from the chickens but hoped it would wait till spring. May have to work something out sooner

Well I’ve been enjoying my very first hatch. Wasn’t turkeys like I want to try come spring. My newest silkie-8 mth old- sat faithfully on 17 eggs. Final count of live chicks is 6. They are healthy and adorable. Momma is doing an incredible job with them. I am however having an slight issue with...

Oh I didn’t take it like that I am just so excited and I only post in this forum unless I have an emergency or something that I post in that area. But yeah I’m looking at all those other incubator forums and articles too.

Yeah I’m sorry just used to talking and sharing with the turkey folk. I’ll go there though. Didn’t mean to flood turkey forum with chicken pics.

And finally the closest to hatching. I Think!!

Here are the ones that are moving and showing continued development but are still earlier along than the rest.

So gonna go compare my pics with the sites that show all the stages of development. Here’s a few new pics Very pleased with the progression. Looks like we now have 17 total. One was for sure no good. We have 4 with either the weird bloodline-got pics of finally- or no movement or veins. So...

A couple go all the way around like where the air pocket is at one end. I’m gonna go out tonight and make a very detailed inventory. I marked them the other night x for possible bad 1 for starting to show veins and 2 for sure things-movement. I’m planning to write down eAch eggs appearance and...

Hey just wondering what the thick vein or blood line means in an egg. I’ve seen movement in several of them now but there are a few I’m not sure about. They have some veins but also a very prominent line Don’t have any pics but will get some tomorrow.

Well fortunately the silkie hen that is sitting on the eggs is the “wife” of the rooster. They stay in their own pen inside an old truck camper. She is the only one that has a nest box in there. No one else goes in there. I’m gonna do a very thorough candling in a day or two and mark all the...

Oh my gosh!!! I just went out and tried candling for the first time ever. Absolutely incredible!! I saw several fertile eggs with veins starting. Some were more MOVING!! Others I saw their heartbeat thumping away. I am sooo excited!! What do I do gang!?!? Let her sit on them or no? I don’t have...

Sorry about the double pics on that post. Not sure what happened!

Thanks!! We think they are good looking birds. I am very happy the mystery bird turned out to be a tom. We have killed 3 coons so far this fall. I feel like the predators have figured out the Chickens and turkeys are there now and so almost every night there is something in the trees around...

Hey all! Just wanted to give a quick update on our little gang. We still have our two turkey hens, doing great and getting along nicely with the enormous Spanish black TOM! Have finally decided it has to be a tom. Gobbles frequently especially when the rooster crows. Has been full blown...

Here’s a couple more close up pics. Checked for bugs of any kind and saw nothing. Her eye is fine it’s just bad angle and glare from flash.
