I moved them just now. I will try to candle them tomorrow. As you can tell this is the first time using an incubator. It is must easier to let the hens sit on them. The grand kids are coming in 3 weeks and I thought it was be nice for them to see the chicks hatch and name them. I do have...

I used my daughter in law's incubator started on Monday night. There must be something wrong with it because the temp never got above 90% (mostly stayed at 85%)and the humidity was always too high. I bought a new incubator today ( Thursday). My question is. Should I start with...

One of my hen turkeys run straight out to the pond, first thing in the morning. I thought that it was a little weird also. I guess they like the water on their feet.

Thanks, I will try to remove the chicken eggs. Another question, She has her nest in the coop in a large wooden crate on the floor. The opening is still pretty large. Should I close off more of the opening so that the Tom can not get to her? What size should I leave open for her?

Hen turkey is sitting on her eggs but there are a few chicken eggs in the pile. Should I try to remove the chicken eggs or leave them. I know that turkey eggs hatch about a week after chicken eggs. Will she hatch out the chicken eggs first and wait for the turkey eggs to hatch?

Will I got two more hens and a toms. Hopefully that will work out. I might even get a few more if I can find any to buy.

Getting two more hens and a tom.

I am going to get two more hens and one tom. Thanks

So true

Will I waited too long and they sold. Another question, would it be best to get turkeys around the same age as mine, or can I get day old turkey and raise them?

I just called back the lady and she said that she was sorry but her husband sold all three while she was at work. I guess I need to continue looking. Just to clarify I should get more than two turkeys?

I had two hen turkey, but one took off. The Hen that stayed is around 6 months old. I found someone that is selling turkeys. She has one hen around 6 months old and also has 2 hens that are 1 and a half years old. Should I buy all three turkeys from her or should I just buy the one that is...

Do I really need another turkey to keep my one and only turkey company? She lost her friend hen turkey to the gang of wild turkeys, and I was feeling sorry for her. She hangs out with my ducks and chickens. My sister in law said that her oldest turkey only gangs out with her chickens and not...

I have been thinking of getting a peafowl. Good idea or bad? Are they hard to keep? Can they free range during the day? Information please.

What if I just get one or two more Hens and no Tom. How does that work out? Would the hens take off with the wild turkeys again?

How many hens to tom? Is it OK to just keep a few hens without a tom?

How many hens would I need with one tom? Would it be ok to just keep hens without a tom?
