Now that I've sourced my pigs I now need some turkeys, looking for about 6 to be ready for Chrismas!

I usually set my eggs around the end of May for commercial type Christmas turkeys.

You'll probably have more luck looking for poults off heat around mid July

Oh right thanks, perhaps I'll put some eggs in the incubator!

Anyone got any fertile Turkey eggs before I resort to Ebay?

I have two breeding groups of Narragansett turkeys but have only just set a couple of broody turkeys on eggs, so won't know if all's well until four weeks' time.

Thanks for the replies Sokel and Marches Farmer, it would be great if I could get 4 eggs from each of you but would need to coordinate so that they arrived here at the same time.
