Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I got it! LOL! My very first stupid, impulse animal purchase since the move! I put it in the incubator with my Turkey and Chicken eggs just to take a pic of the size of it! It's HUGE! LOL! Don't worry though I'm not cooking in that incubator~ it's supposed to cook 2 degree's less than the chicken and turkey eggs and for another month. I know 2F isn't much......but I really want to hatch it! I hope I can! I'll let you know in 50-55 days!
BTW~ those other eggs~ did you know you can see baby chickens/turkeys moving in the eggs within like 5 days when you candle them? It's so cool! I'm having so much fun! But I doubt with that dark a shell on the Emu egg that I'll be able to see into it with my little flashlight~ maybe the maglight? We'll try next week.

The emu egg still has a month and half of incubation to go.......
But the Turkey eggs are rocking! You can see the eggs rock as the babies try to work a way out! Both the chicken and the Turkey eggs are due on the 31st~ I can't see anything happening with the chicken eggs~ but one of the Turkey eggs has a crack in it and two others are rocking!

I missed this yesterday......
AWWWWWW!!!! They look great Cheryl, congrats!! Did they all end up hatching for you?
Perhaps a bit after the fact, but be sure to keep a close eye on the poults to make sure they start eating and drinking....you shouldn't have a problem if they are kept with the chicks and they see them doing it, but often baby turkeys really ain't very bright, and you have to dip their little beak in the water and/or feed a couple of times for them to get the idea.

Thanks Cat~
12 of the chickens hatched and look good~
4 of the turkeys hatched~ but one has spraddled legs and one has a curled foot. I'm still on the fence if I should cull the curl foot or wait and see......but I'm going to cull the spraddle leg. He (she?)s had enough time to see if he could get up or not~ but he still litterally crawls through the brooder to the food and water using his little wings to push him cuz his legs won't stay under him.

Congrats Cheryl, cute little critters.
To bad about the two, one thing that may help in the future is to put the spraddle legged ones on a rougher surface, seems to help them some, though really bad ones can't be helped.
Cat, funny how Domestic turkeys are just so dumb compared to their wild ancestors. I used to put marbles in their water to get them drinking. OH lookie pretty colors!! and wow touch the pretty colors and your not thirsty anymore lol..
