I must give a shout out to my partner in education: Addie Tucker. She and her students have helped me with our chicken project. Before Chris and I went to the sale and purchased an incubator, Addie and her kids took in a few of our Duff and Maran eggs to incubate. Last week, we added two turkey eggs so that the chickens wouldn’t damage the hen’s nest. I am so pleased to announce that Addie and her second block students let me know that the candling today showed movement and growth in the turkey eggs as well as the duff and maran eggs. Chris and I are working on the incubation of the Mille Fleur eggs we collect this week at home. THANK YOU, Addie and kids for advice on incubation and brooding. Next, we will have to prepare our brooder at home, but until then, the FFA students will brood our hatchlings. One last thing, I have a broody turkey hen, so I left her with two eggs this week. I hope they hatch and she is able to brood these babies.
