Lurkey abandoned the four remaining eggs and we put them in an incubator. Four days later (tonight) we found a surprise. Check our Instagram account to see what happened...
White House on the Hill , the babies in this video are adorable! I don’t have Instagram, so I am hoping that maybe you will give us a little update in your next video, about what happened with the rest of the eggs. Hopefully a few more chicks hatched from the incubator. Love you guys. 💜
A grown man SOOO excited about a turkey hatching... he's a man with the heart of a sweet child..the wonders of birth an life...an I like him SOOO much too! his kids are growing up with a great teacher [it's called great parenting]. 🐣🤗⭐
Lurkey is amazingly calm when you're near her eggs. I have at least 23 scars all over from hatching mine! That's one special girl right there. I must try raising a Slate!
That’s very true! It’s much better than the “birds and the bees” I was raised on a farm and so were my kids. We all learned at a very young age, why you need to put the bull in with the cows. And you see mating all around you, chickens and ducks, barn cats, sheep etc etc. It’s just normal. No big deal. The big deal is the new babies!
It's crazy how all of your boys look almost identical to each other! They're all getting so big. What an amazing experience to have that chick hatch in your hand!
So rewarding to have chicks. I had a batch but it was too cold and the mom abandoned them. Only one that hatched got cold and I saved it for 3 days but then it died from a heating error due to me. I’m gonna hatch some more in the June!wish me luck lol
Hey guys not sure if you'll see my comment, but thought it was worth the try. My boyfriend and I love your videos and you really inspired us to get on the road towards a hobby farm. We recently purchased top hat polish hatching eggs from Murray McMurray and tried our first shot at incubation. It was going really well in the beginning, but only one chick ended up hatching, and it had lots of problems. The humidity must've not been good enough because the chick stated hatching and then was almost glued shut into the egg and couldn't move to hatch the rest of the way. With the help of your videos and other online resources we were able to successfully help the chick hatch. Then when he came out we thought it was going to be okay, but ended up having curly toes. I also researched this and we made "chick boots" for him to correct his toes so he could walk. Unfortunately, I think we may have done it too late because he hadn't been able to eat and drink much for a day or two because he really couldn't move around. I though fixing his feet would save him and allow him to eat and drink. However, this morning he was extremely weak. He couldn't move at all and I had to keep his head up for him. He was barely alive at that point but saw him opening up his mouth so I used a syringe to give him water. He was able to get a few drops down. I also mixed his food with some water and he was able to get a little piece down. Unfortunately, after that he had passed away. I'm devastated because he was the only chick that hatched and we had done so much to try to get it to live. I'm writing this comment because I really need the motivation to keep trying with this hobby that I've recently realized that I love. I don't want to give up, but it was hard seeing him pass. Any advice for next time if we choose to try incubation again? Or may just some encouraging words would be a lot. You guys are a huge inspiration to us, and we have seen nearly every single one of your videos. We love seeing your family and animals grow, and it's amazing to feel apart of your journey! So proud of how far you guys have come, and we will continue to support you guys!
Hobbies with animals have a steep learning curve. There's joy in success and sorrow in failures, but the most important thing is to learn from the bad so you know how to handle similar challenges going forward. But it's also important to keep in mind that it's not always something you did or didn't do. Deaths can happen that are out of our control and it's important to remember that we can't control nature, only eliminate variables. It still hurts, I know it does, but you have to press on. I wish you the best with your future hobby farm endeavors. It's always sad seeing a creature pass, but you can't let that stop you from doing something you love. I hope my words are of some comfort. And if I may, have a virtual hug too.
Please try again. I grew up in the farming country of NE Ohio. We worked hard with the livestock. Hard weather is coming; rule of law is badly damaged. Federal->state->local May go beyond crazy. You just gotta learn how to produce your own food to survive.
I have been watching for about a month, and even though I didn't subscribe at first, i have now. The universe always brought me a baby video when things were feeling super constricting and busy in my brain, in a bad way. And it has always helped. I appreciate you, and having grown up in the country, it's so much fun for me to pretend I am home. Thank you for sharing the fun, life as it is, and empathy... You have such a beautiful family. 💙💙💙
These boys will grow up and truly have a grasp and understanding for responsibly, and I love that most parents, just put there kids in front of TV, I myself am guilty of this sometimes, but if I had the resources and way my child would grown up this way too
Where I live there are quite a few houses for sale that are 60k or below. Lots only need minor repairs (paint, new carpet in 1 or 2 rooms, etc.) We rent for 450 right now but the house we are looking at, our mortgage should be about 300-350/month. That's with about an acre. Some have 3+ acres(just hard to get anyone on the phone to see the houses. Lol) Just have to deal with the headache of looking and looking and looking for the right one. Then headache of realtors 😂
I love how you let the little guy make his own way out of the egg. He's so cute... They all are. RIP to the little one that didn't make it. I was rooting for you, Little Dude.
Joleen you Have to let them make their own way out. Theirs veins attached to the egg and an umbilical cord. If you pull the pieces of shell off, you risk tearing a vein and the chic bleeding to death
I watch your channel From the UK and love what your doing . I’m So endeared to see the children totally involved and enjoying themselves . Your respect of the animals is such a noble quality … wonderful
All those who are real animal lovers! His constant interruptions lead to her abandonment and the death of the first! Just leave those poor animals alone, don't touch them and their eggs, don't interrupt their space when there is *NO* need! It's all about making cash on the backs of animals who can't speak for themselves!!! 😤😡😠 Disgusting!!!🤬🤬🤬
@@nobletarabas1 I don't like the interference, the man handling, but know that without people like this showing how life is and how life happens then 90% of the population just see a frozen piece of meat in the supermarket called Turkey and their is no connection - with connection comes empathy and from empathy comes as we are seeing changes to farmed animal cruelty. Not fast enough for my liking. This is not disgusting as you write its at times unnecessary and may well have led to the death of some... but the life bursting from a shell is truly amazing.
I would love some Lavender Orpington Hatching eggs! I am 17 years old and love taking care of my chickens and guineas that I’ve owned for several years! I am always interested in new kinds of breeds that I can hatch and grow! I love your channel and look forward to every video that comes out...especially the hatching ones!😉
This is fascinating, I saw a live TikTok video of a turkey egg hatching and came here out of curiosity and I'm glad I did. I only knew turkeys hatch like chickens now I'm in love with the babies and felt like sad some died and for the father to be put on time out for (accidentally hopefully) killing the baby. Congratulations to you and your family and thank you for being generous to the young boy and others my heart is very happy right now 😊😊😊
Here's what google says: When you mate a Blue Slate to a Blue Slate, there are 3 possible outcomes. Fifty percent should be Blue Slate, twenty-five percent should be Self Blue (aka Lavender) and 25% should be black. To get those ratios you have to produce lots of poults. The Blue Slate poults will be a darker grayish blue. The Self Blue will be a visibly lighter color grayish blue and the Blacks will be black. The reason for the 3 different colors is that the Blue Slate are heterozygous for the slate color gene (Dd).
Most blue poultry don’t breed “true”, meaning blue to blue can give you blue, black or splash offspring. I’m not super familiar with turkey genetics, but I would assume that may be the case.
"When breeding Blue to Blue, the results are turkeys of three different colors: Slate, Blue, and Black. When breeding Slate to Slate, the results are just Slates and Slates will breed true. When breeding the Blue to Black, both Blues and Blacks result with no Slates. When breeding the Black to Black, just Blacks result, which breed true." (from www.feathersite.com/Poultry/Turkeys/BRKSlate.html). So, while we've been calling them interchangeably "Slate", "Blue Slate", and "Slate Blue", it would seem that Lurkey and Slater are the "Blue" variety of the officially recognized "Slate Blue Turkey" heritage breed. If they weren't then they couldn't have chicks of several different colors.
@@camillekhan1740 lol That's so dark man. And I don't think they do that. And even if they did, it would have had more time for a happier life and not be a baby anymore.
I raised bb bronze turkeys as pets. When the hen wouldn't set anymore I would put the remaining eggs in the incubator. One poult that hatched was having problems. I put him in a broader box. He was really wobbly but I continued to make sure he eat and was warm. He grew huge. I called him wobbly. He followed me around like a dog. He would strut back and forth in front of me to keep everything else away from me. If I were out in the yard and he heard me he would gobble. I had him for several years. He was a wonderful boy.
What an awesome feeling! New life literally in the palm of your hand. Congratulations! I'd love a chance to hatch some Orpington eggs and add to our homestead. They have such wonderful personalities. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Love from PA
I just love mother nature and its animas. The way Mrs Lurky immediately looks up at you when she hears her chick and the way she puts it under her wing to keep it warm. Gods creations are just amazing.
Lurky is SUCH A GOOD MOM~ So very gentle compared to some new Moms who literally butt their babies away from them and refused to let them eat or take care of them!! Oh really you can tell that Lurky is a gentle & patient Mother!!! I really love the color of Lurky❣️❣️❣️❣️ It was really unfortunate that the first baby died from exposure/being cold before it even had a chance to live in another one was killed by his dad. You just don’t know about Father’s, if they’re going to be good or not kind a like people!! This song that was sung while Lurky was walking out in the grass with her babies was very sweet and appropriate oh! I really like your videos and enjoy your family. It was honest what your son said when you asked him what did the baby jerky look like and he said “a chicken!”😊♥️ because in truth a child would not really be able to discern the difference especially as young as your child is. They might eventually be able to tell if you begin taking down the difference but that would be challenging. I thought he gave a great answer LOL. Until next time. By the way, Between the ages of one and 10 we always said we lived in the White House😊❣️❣️ in truth, we were living on a big farm with a Victorian two-story house that was quite large and it was on the hill and we didn’t know anything about the presidents house at that point in our lives but it sounded good so that’s why we told everybody we left LOL!!
@@laceyslater8457 doing great actually, I'm concentrating on helping my elder best friend, it brings me joy. Also I got to scratch some little chick heads at the feed store yesterday, a breed they had that I found Super Friendly it was so healing to love on those babies. I wanted to bring them all home but I'm in an apartment lol
@@jules-marcdavis6843 that sounds lovely I love hatching chicks it is so fascinating to watch them grow let me know how they all go I would love to hear.
I would love the dozen eggs. I have always loved hatching things from when I was little. From butterflies and lady bugs to chickens and ducks. We really love your channel, and hope we can win
What a great mom Lurkey is. Congratulations on the babes! I love it and it's so great to see you and your family around them enjoying them. That's the one thing I like about you two as parents, you include your kids and I just love that the most. To see them smile and your smiles, make me smile. Big smile here and stay safe and healthy! Love you all - Anna Banana
Id love lavender orpington eggs! I live on a small homestead in southern MO and I have been raising chickens for a long time but have never had lavenders! I have always enjoyed watching the incubating process!
My son in law and I have Lavender Orpingtons and they are a huge disappointment! The roosters don't take care of the girls and the girls are very flighty like Leghorns. Never again. Maybe the roosters will make good stew though as they aren't good for much else.
Had goosebumps...that's creation right there. We had chickens growing up and I always felt deeply hurt whenever one of them died. It broke my heart seeing the first one dying.
I agree, I've raised plenty of foul on my farm previously and to prevent them from dying from cold I would have a heat lamp on them or at least next to the nest. If he doesn't have electric ran to The building he could at least install a solar heat lamp and have alot less death.
Turkey chicks are so adorable! Great job Lurkey. I have pet budgies. They are great moms. I enjoy watching my hen taking care of the before they hatch. She flats her body over the eggs and moves the eggs over a couple times a day. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed watching the baby hatch on your hand. Happy Hatch day to all the new babies!
I would love a chance at lavender buffs! Oh my goodness they are so beautiful! I started a egg laying flock 1 year ago. I love chickens. Sure did like seeing the turkeys hatching. So cool.
I'm always in awe when I see how hens or female turkeys take care of their hatchlings. It shows how tender they are with them The first one was sadly not meant to live. We always picture turkeys as aggressive. It's wonderful to see them in a different light.
Turkeys are such loving and smart beings. They make wonderful pets. Many are kept inside the house at night and hang out with the dogs. Then during the day they're allowed to roam in fenced in areas that are covered to keep birds of prey from killing them. They can even be litter box trained so no accidents inside the house. Rescue a turkey bound for the slaughter house and you'll have a loyal and forever grateful new best friend.
Awe I loved seeing momma pushing her eggs back under herself. And seeing the babies being born is amazingly beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing and having such giving hearts. 😍 It’s so nice to see this year has been so hard on all of us, it’s nice to see and experience a miracle. 😍God Bless y’all and the animals! ❤️🙏🏻
My 6 yr old granddaughter and I watch your channel often. Em is fascinated with eggs and loves to watch hatching videos. We tried hatching eggs with a cheap incubator this Spring, but none of the eggs survived, so I bought 4 day old Silkies. It looks like at least 2 are hens. Em is very gentle with the chickens. She loves interacting with them, petting and singing to them. I would love to have some Orpington eggs for the Silkie hens to hatch out early next Spring. Em would love that! She said she would want to cuddle them. Thanks!
That was very cool thanks 4 showing that. GOD bless u & yr loved 1s with great health wealth happiness & wisdom. Then share it as freely as u shared yr video. U get a ☆.
@@doc-savage wow, I never knew that. I tend to skip the last couple seconds of some videos, and didnt realize it wouldnt count that I watched it because I stopped it 1.5 seconds before it officially ended.
No entiendo ni hablo inglés, pero en lo personal me gustan mucho la variedad de animales que tienes y los grandes esfuerzos que veo haces para criarlos, te aplaudo eso, saludos desde Sonora, México
I think one of their grand parents were black that's why they are showing this colour due to their previous blood line however I'm excited to see how they would look when grown specially the yellow with little gray shade bcoz normally blue slate chicks doesn't look like that much yellow & I would wish to win these turkey eggs ♥️
I Love that I came across your video, I enjoyed it very much. I liked seeing your son smiling at the new baby..I wish every child could grow up in this kind of atmosphere, or at least get to visit a farm . peep. Peep.. Love there little peeps.lol🐣
Those turkey pullets are adorable, wonder if a wild tom got into where she was, wow Love those purple colored lavender chickens. Id love to have some of your chickens, Im just starting out with chickens, was thinking of getting some of those big chickens, the brahmas(?). Hope you have a great day.
I want the eggs because I want to start my own farm/homestead I’m 14 and it’s hard to find chickens were killed stay I have a brooding pen and everything for the chickens but I can’t find any that’s fit my budget.i would like the eggs thxs also you guys are my inspiration to get chickens so thxs for inspiring me and thank you for that inspiration!!
Hello sir..I m from Pakistan..I love chickens and all types of birds...When I was 10 year I started..And my journey is going..I love your channel..And the way u .Grow ur birds..Love you brother..Take care..
"Slate: (Slate, Blue Slate and Splash): is black based with a single dominant slate gene. (Genotype: BBDd), their phenotype is slate or ashy blue with specks of black 'spackles' scattered over the feathers. Blue: (Blue, Self Blue and Lavender): is black based but has two dominant slate genes." if they work anything like pigeon colour genetics that means with 2 blue slate parents you can get a variety of gene combinations. Babies with a single slate gene, double slate gene or no slate gene. So my guess is the dark babies have not inherited the slate gene, while the pale baby either has a sinlge (and is a blue slate) or inherited 2 copies of the slate gene and is a self Blue :)
There are a lot of resources online esp regarding pigeon colour genetics as they are a lot and very actively studied. That plus 7 years of breeding colour pigeons with multiple recessive genes :)
My name is Jacqueline I’m twelve years old and I’m quarantining with my grandmother, we just built a large chicken coop and we have a incubator. We would love to have some Lavender Orpington eggs. I’ve been asking her (Pestering her) to hatch eggs and raise chickens from babies and this is just the opportunity. We live on a hobby farm in Tennessee called Whimsy rose.
Me too. I am going to try to buy some fertile eggs, and put them under a hen. We have 2 roosters, but they are worthless. They are 3, and NO fertilized eggs, despite frequent breedings! Worthless I tell you.
I love your channel!!.I want some lavender orphington eggs so bad. Lavender is my favorite color and I could raise them where I live. I will go buy a new coop if I win Thanks
There are many of us who don't do Instagram and I hope that you will show us UA-camrs the video of the others that have hatched. I love watching your journey and how everything is thriving on your Hill. I learn a lot about the different birds however I don't see me raising any; any time soon. So, I am living vicariously thorough your videos. Thank you for allowing me away to enjoy your journey.
Lurkey abandoned the four remaining eggs and we put them in an incubator. Four days later (tonight) we found a surprise. Check our Instagram account to see what happened...
Wa happened
I would love to win the egg give away! Im 15 about to be 16 in june! And I have a coop and run ready! And an empty incubator.
That's so amazing! I didn't even realize you had such a great Instagram now following!
White House on the Hill , the babies in this video are adorable!
I don’t have Instagram, so I am hoping that maybe you will give us a little update in your next video, about what happened with the rest of the eggs. Hopefully a few more chicks hatched from the incubator.
Love you guys. 💜
So cute
A grown man SOOO excited about a turkey hatching... he's a man with the heart of a sweet child..the wonders of birth an life...an I like him SOOO much too! his kids are growing up with a great teacher [it's called great parenting]. 🐣🤗⭐
Thank you, Marilyn 😊
Love how the mother gently moves the eggs & chicks under her. That's such a beautiful sight!
zarah doan Yes I was charmed by how gentle she was too, the motherly instincts are a beautiful thing.
didn't she stand on the first chick that died?
Agreed!
🐔 ❤🥚🥚🥚
yes it is very cute
I know right!! that was one of my favorite parts of this video. What a good mama. So sweet ♥️
Instinct is incredible. Animals don’t read the “what to expect when you’re expecting” books and they seem to be doing just fine. I think it’s amazing
Technically we are animals but it can be different from bird to bird, some can be great mothers and some can horrible mothers.
I mean 7/10 of her babies died so maybe they could use a book lol imagine if humans were allowed that sort of leeway with our kids lives...
Lurkey is amazingly calm when you're near her eggs. I have at least 23 scars all over from hatching mine! That's one special girl right there. I must try raising a Slate!
Oh your children are blessed to grow up this way. Thank you for being wonderful!!
The baby turkeys are beautiful. I am happy they get to see the world for the first time. Its emotional seeing a new creature see the world.
What great memories these beautiful children will have one day! Thanks to great caring and loving parents!
One of benefit of living in farm is you never have to answer the question where do babies come from.
Eggs
@@lottienilsson 😂
I choked on my water-
LMFAO
Duh... they come from turkeys. ☺
That’s very true! It’s much better than the “birds and the bees”

I want one because of the way the mother takes care of her baby's.
Thank you for making this channel. Its amazing and full of miracles that You dont get to see in a city
It's crazy how all of your boys look almost identical to each other! They're all getting so big. What an amazing experience to have that chick hatch in your hand!
RIP Mrs Lurkey you were a great mother these moments with you are beautiful
she did not die. Two chicks died.
I love the way she tucked the chick in after you held it in your hand ♥️
So sorry for the little one. I raised chix. And they all survived. 25 chix....what a group. Mother hen was grrrr8t.
Such a wonder to hold a brand new life in the palm of your hands. You’ll remember the feeling and sound forever.
I would love the dozen eggs :) I’m 13 and I love hatching baby chicks. I’ve built my whole farm all by myself and the eggs would be so amazing 😊😊😊
Omg I'm thirteen and the youngest of three kids, and have over fifty animals at my house, the only animal that isn't mine is the dog
I want em so bad too and I’m also only 13 but we don’t have space for em sadly we got no pets :(
I'm 13 and I have 6 duck eggs due to hatch arould the 26th. I also hatched 3 chicks last year, but they were killed by a coyote.
Gracy Fox that’s the same case for me :))) I’ve done everything myself and I’m really proud I’d love to hatch them lol .

"When breeding Blue to Blue, the results are turkeys of three different colors: Slate, Blue, and Black. When breeding Slate to Slate, the results are just Slates and Slates will breed true. When breeding the Blue to Black, both Blues and Blacks result with no Slates. When breeding the Black to Black, just Blacks result, which breed true." (from www.feathersite.com/Poultry/Turkeys/BRKSlate.html). So, while we've been calling them interchangeably "Slate", "Blue Slate", and "Slate Blue", it would seem that Lurkey and Slater are the "Blue" variety of the officially recognized "Slate Blue Turkey" heritage breed. If they weren't then they couldn't have chicks of several different colors.
The poor turkey who died was lucky enough to say a few words with his tiny little turkey boys. Only his mom will know what he said
If that's your concept of lucky you must feel lucky all the time😁
Pray God sent them
The baby turkey must be chirping in heaven
@@Snibble OF COURSE THE BABY TURKEY IS LUCKY, SHE DONT HAVE TO STICK OUT HER NECK UPSIDE DOWN FOR KNIFE TO SLIT HER THROAT.
@@camillekhan1740 lol That's so dark man. And I don't think they do that. And even if they did, it would have had more time for a happier life and not be a baby anymore.
If I didn’t know this channel better I’d be worried I’ve been click baited
Zakary McLeod - good thing you know us 😀
You mean chick baited
@@jenniferwright5536 LOL, good one!

Exactly what I was thinking!
Hate this realy do
I raised bb bronze turkeys as pets. When the hen wouldn't set anymore I would put the remaining eggs in the incubator. One poult that hatched was having problems. I put him in a broader box. He was really wobbly but I continued to make sure he eat and was warm. He grew huge. I called him wobbly. He followed me around like a dog. He would strut back and forth in front of me to keep everything else away from me. If I were out in the yard and he heard me he would gobble. I had him for several years. He was a wonderful boy.
So beautiful to watch that I cried , I want to b livin the dream as your family is.
🦅🇺🇸🙏💜
I guess you are vegan then?
Talk about escaping from the ultimate straight-jacket.
Truth
Thank you for sharing those moments. Incredible !
That’s so sweet! I never seen anything like this. For the 2 dislikes go somewhere else. Some folks like me never seen this so I appreciate this video!
TaraRockRevival BeBe - thanks for the support!
This was fantastic. Thank you for videoing this
For me I have seen, but it never gets old. Don't know why people be so mean and dislike.
It's so beautiful - his videos reveal the awesomeness of nature.
😱 Slater looks like he’s wearing a tie , how cute . So beautiful this video . Thanks so much for sharing . Beautiful family too 👍👍❤️❤️😘😘
I would like a few of the eggs. As it is now, I have a large garden growing okra, tomato, and peppers. It's time to think about eggs as well.
What an awesome feeling! New life literally in the palm of your hand. Congratulations! I'd love a chance to hatch some Orpington eggs and add to our homestead. They have such wonderful personalities. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Love from PA
I know a man by the name of Farmer John. He has 2 pet buff orpington and I was so surprised how nice they are!
I'm new to your channel and I'm finding it so enjoyable. So neat to giveaway eggs to share a hatchling with others. You are all amazing people.
I would love to have a dozen eggs to hatch out. The turkeys are beautiful. The black and yellow are super gorgeous
Do you eat them ?
I just love mother nature and its animas. The way Mrs Lurky immediately looks up at you when she hears her chick and the way she puts it under her wing to keep it warm. Gods creations are just amazing.
Lurky is SUCH A GOOD MOM~ So very gentle compared to some new Moms who literally butt their babies away from them and refused to let them eat or take care of them!! Oh really you can tell that Lurky is a gentle & patient Mother!!! I really love the color of Lurky❣️❣️❣️❣️
It was really unfortunate that the first baby died from exposure/being cold before it even had a chance to live in another one was killed by his dad. You just don’t know about Father’s, if they’re going to be good or not kind a like people!! This song that was sung while Lurky was walking out in the grass with her babies was very sweet and appropriate oh! I really like your videos and enjoy your family. It was honest what your son said when you asked him what did the baby jerky look like and he said “a chicken!”😊♥️ because in truth a child would not really be able to discern the difference especially as young as your child is. They might eventually be able to tell if you begin taking down the difference but that would be challenging. I thought he gave a great answer LOL. Until next time.
By the way, Between the ages of one and 10 we always said we lived in the White House😊❣️❣️ in truth, we were living on a big farm with a Victorian two-story house that was quite large and it was on the hill and we didn’t know anything about the presidents house at that point in our lives but it sounded good so that’s why we told everybody we left LOL!!
Nature makes me so happy and if we didn’t have nature then half of my life wouldn’t be where I am now 🥺 it’s very very stunning
Are you ok? 💜💜💜
@Jules-Marc Davis yes I’m fine, what about you?
@@laceyslater8457 doing great actually, I'm concentrating on helping my elder best friend, it brings me joy. Also I got to scratch some little chick heads at the feed store yesterday, a breed they had that I found Super Friendly it was so healing to love on those babies. I wanted to bring them all home but I'm in an apartment lol
@@jules-marcdavis6843 that sounds lovely I love hatching chicks it is so fascinating to watch them grow let me know how they all go I would love to hear.
I would love the dozen eggs. I have always loved hatching things from when I was little. From butterflies and lady bugs to chickens and ducks. We really love your channel, and hope we can win
Feathers are amazing. When the Turkey fluffed out her belly feathers l was a wee bit envious if those eggs.
What a great mom Lurkey is. Congratulations on the babes! I love it and it's so great to see you and your family around them enjoying them. That's the one thing I like about you two as parents, you include your kids and I just love that the most. To see them smile and your smiles, make me smile. Big smile here and stay safe and healthy! Love you all - Anna Banana
THe miracle of life, how much I take it for granted. Thank you for this reminder.
Id love lavender orpington eggs! I live on a small homestead in southern MO and I have been raising chickens for a long time but have never had lavenders! I have always enjoyed watching the incubating process!
My son in law and I have Lavender Orpingtons and they are a huge disappointment! The roosters don't take care of the girls and the girls are very flighty like Leghorns. Never again. Maybe the roosters will make good stew though as they aren't good for much else.
@@rogerhuber3133 OmO welp I could be interested in some stew :3
The mom is like “what are you doing out here? Get back under there!”
For the first 12 seconds of this video I’ve never seen him happy 😀 and that made me happy to
Gabriela majjul - that makes me happy 😀
@@whitehouseonthehill that makes me happy that your happy about me being happy because you were happy (this doesn’t make sense but it’s true
Had goosebumps...that's creation right there. We had chickens growing up and I always felt deeply hurt whenever one of them died. It broke my heart seeing the first one dying.
I agree, I've raised plenty of foul on my farm previously and to prevent them from dying from cold I would have a heat lamp on them or at least next to the nest. If he doesn't have electric ran to The building he could at least install a solar heat lamp and have alot less death.
What about the life of cows ?
Turkey chicks are so adorable! Great job Lurkey. I have pet budgies. They are great moms. I enjoy watching my hen taking care of the before they hatch. She flats her body over the eggs and moves the eggs over a couple times a day. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed watching the baby hatch on your hand. Happy Hatch day to all the new babies!
Seeing the baby turkey look at you when it came out of the shell in your hand reminded me of the book “Are You my mother? By PDEastman 😁
When the turkey chicks were hatching in your hands I had a throwback to the jurassic Park movie (the Rapter egg scene) 😉
you bread turkeys *slow camera pan as music swells*
I would love a chance at lavender buffs! Oh my goodness they are so beautiful! I started a egg laying flock 1 year ago. I love chickens. Sure did like seeing the turkeys hatching. So cool.
My son had a couple of pet turkeys when he would visit his dad in Phoenix. I had never heard of such a thing.
Thank God for people like you. I think of the little ones born in those huge farms and my heart breaks.
I did never know how cute turkey babys are!!! 😍😍
I wonder what the black ones will look like grown up, finger's crossed they survive
Im honored to have watched this..thank you..
just beautiful!
This was astonishing to me, absolutely wonderful. Thank you . All life is precious.
I'm always in awe when I see how hens or female turkeys take care of their hatchlings. It shows how tender they are with them The first one was sadly not meant to live. We always picture turkeys as aggressive. It's wonderful to see them in a different light.
bless their little hearts so adorable welcome to the would little chicks!
This is so incredible! I love at how gentle you and lurkey is! I love the channel and I hope to see more stuff like this. :D
We are going to be starting our own homestead. Those lavenders would be a blessing!! Love your vlog!
Turkeys are such loving and smart beings. They make wonderful pets. Many are kept inside the house at night and hang out with the dogs. Then during the day they're allowed to roam in fenced in areas that are covered to keep birds of prey from killing them. They can even be litter box trained so no accidents inside the house. Rescue a turkey bound for the slaughter house and you'll have a loyal and forever grateful new best friend.
Awe I loved seeing momma pushing her eggs back under herself. And seeing the babies being born is amazingly beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing and having such giving hearts. 😍 It’s so nice to see this year has been so hard on all of us, it’s nice to see and experience a miracle. 😍God Bless y’all and the animals! ❤️🙏🏻
Me: ahh just chilling
UA-cam: WHITE HOUSE ON HILL just uploaded
Me: COM'N CLICK CLICK *CLICK !!*
They're the best ! So calming and beautiful birds.
Ha
That was adorable!! thank you!!
My 6 yr old granddaughter and I watch your channel often. Em is fascinated with eggs and loves to watch hatching videos. We tried hatching eggs with a cheap incubator this Spring, but none of the eggs survived, so I bought 4 day old Silkies. It looks like at least 2 are hens. Em is very gentle with the chickens. She loves interacting with them, petting and singing to them. I would love to have some Orpington eggs for the Silkie hens to hatch out early next Spring. Em would love that! She said she would want to cuddle them. Thanks!
Love you all thank you for all you do!
That was very cool thanks 4 showing that. GOD bless u & yr loved 1s with great health wealth happiness & wisdom. Then share it as freely as u shared yr video. U get a ☆.
Omg UA-cam did it again 1 person has seen this video but there are 8 comments 😂
It's because that one person commented eight times duhhhh
Its really not a big deal, happens all the time lmao
@@doc-savage wow, I never knew that. I tend to skip the last couple seconds of some videos, and didnt realize it wouldnt count that I watched it because I stopped it 1.5 seconds before it officially ended.
"Slater u gonna be a papa"
Slater: *confused gulugulugulu*
No entiendo ni hablo inglés, pero en lo personal me gustan mucho la variedad de animales que tienes y los grandes esfuerzos que veo haces para criarlos, te aplaudo eso, saludos desde Sonora, México
That is the sweetest moment when your sweet little one touches that baby Turkey.
I'm obsessed with your farm! Absolutely love it. Also some lavender eggs would be neat to hatch out🐥😍
I think one of their grand parents were black that's why they are showing this colour due to their previous blood line however I'm excited to see how they would look when grown specially the yellow with little gray shade bcoz normally blue slate chicks doesn't look like that much yellow
& I would wish to win these turkey eggs ♥️
I Love that I came across your video, I enjoyed it very much. I liked seeing your son smiling at the new baby..I wish every child could grow up in this kind of atmosphere, or at least get to visit a farm . peep. Peep.. Love there little peeps.lol🐣
Wow!!! Thank you for this.... Happy Easter everyone. 🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣👍🏻💚
Such an incredible sight to see!
Those turkey pullets are adorable, wonder if a wild tom got into where she was, wow Love those purple colored lavender chickens. Id love to have some of your chickens, Im just starting out with chickens, was thinking of getting some of those big chickens, the brahmas(?). Hope you have a great day.
R.I.P lurkey she will never be forgotten
:/
Did she die
:/
Yes she died
What happened?
I want the eggs because I want to start my own farm/homestead I’m 14 and it’s hard to find chickens were killed stay I have a brooding pen and everything for the chickens but I can’t find any that’s fit my budget.i would like the eggs thxs also you guys are my inspiration to get chickens so thxs for inspiring me and thank you for that inspiration!!
Hello sir..I m from Pakistan..I love chickens and all types of birds...When I was 10 year I started..And my journey is going..I love your channel..And the way u .Grow ur birds..Love you brother..Take care..
New life......so precious! Thank you!
"Slate: (Slate, Blue Slate and Splash): is black based with a single dominant slate gene. (Genotype: BBDd), their phenotype is slate or ashy blue with specks of black 'spackles' scattered over the feathers. Blue: (Blue, Self Blue and Lavender): is black based but has two dominant slate genes." if they work anything like pigeon colour genetics that means with 2 blue slate parents you can get a variety of gene combinations. Babies with a single slate gene, double slate gene or no slate gene. So my guess is the dark babies have not inherited the slate gene, while the pale baby either has a sinlge (and is a blue slate) or inherited 2 copies of the slate gene and is a self Blue :)
Lisa C - whew! Makes my head hurt, but I think I get it 😀
There are a lot of resources online esp regarding pigeon colour genetics as they are a lot and very actively studied. That plus 7 years of breeding colour pigeons with multiple recessive genes :)
My name is Jacqueline I’m twelve years old and I’m quarantining with my grandmother, we just built a large chicken coop and we have a incubator. We would love to have some Lavender Orpington eggs. I’ve been asking her (Pestering her) to hatch eggs and raise chickens from babies and this is just the opportunity. We live on a hobby farm in Tennessee called Whimsy rose.
Teri Wills weird that I have the same name as you and that I’m also 12 and I’m also in quarantine
Me too. I am going to try to buy some fertile eggs, and put them under a hen. We have 2 roosters, but they are worthless. They are 3, and NO fertilized eggs, despite frequent breedings! Worthless I tell you.
@@drawbootiful8665 Its my grandmothers name
@@Bookwurm22 oof 😢
I love your channel!!.I want some lavender orphington eggs so bad. Lavender is my favorite color and I could raise them where I live. I will go buy a new coop if I win
Thanks
🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
There are many of us who don't do Instagram and I hope that you will show us UA-camrs the video of the others that have hatched. I love watching your journey and how everything is thriving on your Hill. I learn a lot about the different birds however I don't see me raising any; any time soon. So, I am living vicariously thorough your videos. Thank you for allowing me away to enjoy your journey.
All annimals are so gentle makes you wonder if they want them like people do i cant be they only one to see animalslike these and wonder
