Miss Wanda has decided she wants to be a mother again. The sad part is, there is only one turkey egg left for her to hatch and it is doubtful it is fertile. She is totally and absolutely serious about that, and she isn't nice about it either. The chances of stealing an egg out from under here are very slim without bloodshed...and it wouldn't be her blood!
There are 3 other hens also setting and the eggs have been equally distributed between them and Miss Wanda. Doesn't seem fair that the three newbies will only have to sit on the eggs for 10 days when the original momma-to-be has already been sitting on them for 10 days. It will be interesting to see how many, if any, actually hatch.
In addition there is another one with momma tendencies which appeared yesterday. Unfortunately, there aren't any eggs available to put under her as I need all the rest of them to meet the sales on the coop delivery this month. She is currently sitting on two golf balls. It would truly be a miracle if either of those hatched. Perhaps some eggs can be obtained from other sources for her to have.
Prairie House has had 7 chicks hatched and surviving so far this season.
