Our Broad Breasted Bronze Turkey Poults hatched. Of the 10 eggs we had... 6 were fertilized. Two pipped and failed. One never pipped. We have 3 turkey poults. So in love with these little guys. One is quite loud, guessing that one is the girl, jenny 💃 Love these guys.

After losing 6 eggs and 1 chick, I wanted to give up on this incubator. Something isn't right with it. But sadly either I lose the eggs or try at least. So in an effort to save 2 turkey eggs, I've been constantly checking this incubator. The heat and humidity were all wonky, and our turkey...

So many times breeds are made for egg color or feathers, not so much any more for temperament and friendliness. I know people are exhausted by their orphingtons being bullied. But birds that kids and teens can easily handle would be nicer than colorful 🪶 🪶 feathers that show well. A chicken...
