I'm not sure how much it helps, but I cut holes in the bottom. Either way I don't think you will be disappointed with the method. I am currently hatching tonight already have got one blue jersey giant out of the shell! Hopefully I will post pics here in the next couple of days. I cut a small...

She just emailed me, so I think she is back in business now. Good luck:D

From the rules 7. No Fighting. Taking a personal conflict to the forum is unacceptable. Thanks

Perty birds. I can only see the butt of the blue one, but pretty color. I see Korfus got some from you awhile back. Good enough for Korfus good enough for me. Can't wait. Your eggs are my last hatch for the year......and this time I mean it.

That is something I didn't consider. What color did your Royal Palm Bronze Crosses come out? My Standard Bronzes aren't mature yet, but my Royal Palm Toms are so maybe I should keep them around and try to breed them next year with BB. Royal Palm Hens should be laying in the next 2 weeks.

Hi, I was thinking about getting a broad breasted turkey hen and mating it with one of my standard bronze toms. Do you think it would yield a bigger turkey than a standard bronze without artificial insemination? I understand the broad breasted toms can't mate due to a large breast, but another...

A little late but any pics...its always nice to know what to expect to pop out of that shell. I have been clamoring for these forever. Just wanted to get my feet with them. Monday is perfect because my incubator will free up then, when the Blue Giants go in to the hatcher. Your awesome:lol:!

Sold! Sold! Sold! I will paypal you immediately! Oh dear god finally some BBS Orpingtons.

Mypicklebird ..I have read up on this stuff it is safe. This is the same stuff. You swim in the water after it passes through it, it will not harm anything in the right amounts. I treat it like oyster shell with a dust mask on when I use it. People here on the board had pointed me to the...

Is your incubator forced air or still air?

D.E. is diatamaceous earth. It is ground up flour made from diatomite fossils found in the ocean. It works on a microscopic scale by lacerating the mite or worm that comes in contact with it and cutting it open so it can dehydrate. It is harmless to eat(not breath) and I use it everywhere in...

I gave up finding food grade locally and settled for plain old diatomite from a pool store a few towns over. I have been feeding it for 6 months and have had no mites, no worms, and no deaths. That stuff weighs so much it was unpractical to get it shipped in as much as I would be using. I...

I am glad to report that my turkeys are getting better. The swelling has subsided in two of my Turkeys and the other two are getting better each day. I tried the Sulfamethodoxine (spelling) soluble powder and that did nothing. I researched some more on the forum and someone had recommended to...

Ha! Funny stuff:lol: I think they got you good Susan!

You sound like me at the farm store in the spring. Its like a kid in a candy store when you get all of those choices. A little of this, a little of that next thing you know you have some of everything in your box and you have to put some back. I have mail ordered through Cackle Hatchery and...
