Those Turkeys!

Those 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?!

Welcome to our homesteading adventure in south central BC, Canada! In 2009 we started building an earthship in Darfield. We moved in three and a half years later. Now that the biggest jobs are finished we are having fun homesteading in a modern world. Join us for discussions about finishing the earthship, food preservation, beekeeping, livestock, permaculture and how we interact with technology. It's all about simple living and stewardship of the land without deprivation. Together with our three teenagers we're learning as we go.
