Those Turkeys!
Posted on 23. Jun, 2010 by Chris in turkeys
We started 23 turkey eggs in an incubator this evening (7:30 pm to be precise).
The temperature was preset by the friend who loaned us the incubator . thanks Angela!
We poured water into a tray in the bottom of the incubator to keep the eggs humid, and marked each egg with an ‘X’ as we put them in. The ‘X’ will tell us where to place the egg when we roll it (the fetus does not develop properly if the egg is not rolled regularly). We put the lid on the incubator and plugged it in.
We’ll check again in a day!

Why am I thinking that 23 is one short of the two dozen that would have fit in those cartons – did you have a casualty or an omelette?!

Neither … that is all the turkey eggs our friend collected!
