hatches
mother royal palm
- 4-8-15 - brown and yellow
- 4-16-15? yellow (about 9 days to follow RP without trouble)
- 4-25-15 : black beauty Meg and I hatched at 8pm, but in the morning was in the water.
artificial incubation
- 4-17-15 - started JC eggs (12), ~6 of YM, and ~19 turkeys
- 4-25-15 - checked, 100% developing! But butterfingers dropped two.
- 4-28-15 - started 18 JC eggs
expected hatch dates
- 5-8-15 ~15 chickens
- 5-15-15 ~19 turkeys
natural incubation
What a mess - total chaos. Two turkeys (bronze, RPbaby) sharing a nest. Add a 2nd nest and now they're switching nests. Will move 1 nest to inside RP pen at night. Might well let them be started in their hatching home.
Estimate they actually started incubation around 4-22-15. (They'd been sitting on the eggs at night, but then would leave nest during the day.)
- 4-26-15 : Marked turkeys eggs with X, those from nest 2 with X and O
