Title: 100% turkey hatch rate. Thanks Rosie Posie
Post by: Brijjy on June 21, 2012, 11:45:18 am

What a storming result. 15 out of 15 turkey eggs have hatched.  :o . All supplied by Rosie Posie and her incredibly virile and fertile turkeys! The one is in a pot because it has a bit of a splayed leg problem. It hatched before it had absorbed its yolk sac and so is a bit dim.

Yes, the splayed one is spraddled along with one other who decided he wanted splayed legs too. Both are doing fine.

Well done :-) 

We have had a distrastrous turkey year this year.  We candled them and they were fertile but they just didn't do anything :-( Very disappointing.
