My year old turkey hen, Lucille, is sitting on at least 5 eggs. I am more than excited. She is a Midget White, I raised 4 from poults last spring and kept the pair I liked best for breeding. Buster, the tom is hilarious. We had the other two for holiday meals. I am so excited to think that she will brood the babies herself..so much more fun! She has been on the nest sitting over two weeks now..so I am anxious to see if she follows through!

I have high hopes. I got a smaller breed (midget whites) hoping for breeding and mothering. Looks like I got really lucky with Lucille. She has been so good. Hopefully she will do all the brooding work too and I can avoid another box in the cellar with babies.

That is so exciting, Aunt Jenny! I am glad she is sitting for you! Turkeys can be hard to find good mothers! :) I hope you'll post picks when the babies arrive!

How egg-citing! I hope you are successful! It's always so much fun to see the babies!

She is still on the eggs..should be any day now. We were gone on vacation for a week and came home to surprize twin lambs...but not turkeys yet.

I don't blame you for being excited. How long does it take for them to hatch?
