Turkey talk

We are heading towards the final few days of incubation for the turkey eggs. I have tried to candle the eggs several times but their thickness has stopped me seeing which are fertile and which ones are duds.. This morning I have bobbed the six eggs in a large bowl of warm water and the hopeful jump of three of the eggs gives me some optimism of a partially successful hatch.
Turkey chicks are the most delightful (and unfortunately delicate ) of creatures, I am so looking forward to have some by Friday!
Off on egg deliveries now! later it is Julie & Julia at Llandudno....review later

    i found six turkey eggs during the heat of the summer, incubated them - turned out i was loving rotten eggs, go figure

    there is a protective bloom on the egg that is removed with water, here is a link that says it all
