The six of them look like barred rocks. I will say some of them have really boy-like faces though. You will know in a week or two after they start to feather out more. The males will have much more white than the females on their wings and body.

HI, I did contact customer service. They want me to take a video of the turner turning and send it to them. Everything is installed correctly. The incubator currently has 56 eggs in it so it is a bit difficult to get in there and mess with it with all the eggs in there. Thank you.

The first one looks like a pullet. The rest look like cockerels. I'm not familiar with your breeding or coloring though.

I have Brinsea Ovation 56 eco Incubator that was purchased less than 2 years ago. It worked fine for the first 3 hatches, then the turner stopped working. It will turn the racks a little bit, but does not flip them over to the opposite side like it is supposed to. It seems like the turner...

Heritage turkey eggs. Price is $30 for one dozen, plus $15 for shipping. Shipped from Washington on Tuesday. I had a 92% hatch rate in my incubator - 100% fertility. Parents are not related so no inbreeding. My royal palm in not laying anymore because she is broody. Some of the colors of...

I have turkey eggs. All heritage, good color variety including slate and Oregon Blue. Shipping from Washington.

Just candled my turkey eggs and they all look great! I'm getting excited for hatch day next weekend. :p

As for handling, it was mentioned before that hand carry oils and other contaminants that can kill the chick. The candling process can cause the egg to heat up too much. I don't think my light puts out that much heat, but some of them do. Picking up the eggs can cause damage due to sudden...

Pretty much. I don't mess with them. No need to candle more than once a week anyway.

Just my two cents - the more you handle the eggs while they are developing (especially during the first week of incubation) the greater your chances will be of damaging the developing chick. I never mess with my eggs during the first week aside from turning them or adding water to the...

Marans eggs lose moisture more slowly than regular white, brown or blue eggs. I usually have better luck incubating older eggs that have already lost some moisture, or keep the humidity lower during the first week of incubation. Eggs should lose 5% of their weight each week until lock down...

Thank you for writing up the facts about Marek's vaccine. Many of us get so tired of people thinking the vaccine gives birds the disease. It does not as the vaccine is a Turkey virus that creates antibodies for the chicken form of the virus. Again, great job.

Thanks for the bid! Three hours left on the turkey eggs. Will ship out tomorrow morning.

Auction - Ends Monday at 4:00 p.m. Pacific time. One dozen heritage turkey eggs. My flock is still young so they have not reach full weight yet. Hens are about 16 pounds and the Tom is 22 pounds. He's 9 months old and still has some growing to do. My incubator is full of eggs already and...

I have heritage turkey hens that are laying like crazy. I'm in Washington and would be happy to ship. I have my incubator full already and the fertility has been 100%. If anyone wants me to do an auction or private sale, please let me know. I should add that the poults will be all...
