When should I expect them to come in to lay???
« on: June 09, 2013, 03:11:17 pm »
After my last turkey hen got eaten I managed to finally track down another pair of girls for my stag & he's mated with them both once that I know of as 1's lavender & the others a Bourbon red & I've seen him on both. I know the females start to lay after being mated a few times so any ideas on when I should be getting eggs? I know the females instigate mating ect, & he mated the lavender 1 about 2 weeks ago 2 days after we got them & the bourbon red earlier this week. I'm just curios as my last hen did lay early may & was around the same age approx 12 months as these x
