  • We ordered 24 eggs in the mail that got severely delayed! Will they survive?! Did we get the chance to save them too late?! These are not your average supermarket eggs! With 4 broken shipped eggs we know we are now down to 20 and are holding out hope that these eggs will hatch in 28 days!
    Thank you to Antigonish Country Co-op for sponsoring this project & providing us with the Hovabator Genesis & Hovabator Automatic Egg Turner! We are honoured to partner with favourite local store! / antigonishcoopcountrys...

    I remember as a kid when we would get baby chicks in the mail. I would be so excited for them too come. My dad would always have a setting hen to hatch eggs, plus use the incubator. Boy has times changed on incubators in 70 yrs 😂. This is such a wonderful life style you kids are creating for the boys. It will teach them so much about life in a good healthy way. Sending good vibes that all eggs hatch!

    Oh, what an exciting time for your boys! For 10 years prior to my retirement, I had an incubator in my second-grade classroom. We hatched chicken eggs from my sister's farm each spring. The week prior to hatching, she would bring the hen and rooster to school. I kept the hatchlings for a few days before their trip back to the farm. Every child in the school would visit the classroom to see the eggs and then the chicks. enjoy your journey.

    20 years ago I incubated Eclectus parrots. I got 2 a year apart. Both boys. I wanted a girl but dad was getting old and eventually passed. I was glad to have the young ones that reminded me of him. They are so precious but lots of work.
    Good luck with your babies. I would say about 75% will hatch for you.

    We do quail hatching and we use a breeder in Manitoba. We expedite them so they arrive in 3-5 business days. Then we let them rest a day and incubate them. Depending on when the breeder collects them you should be good. Hoping for a good hatching :)

    Hudson and London are really big snuggle buddies. I would have laid down and gotten a snuggle or two. Turkeys are some of the funniest birds I’ve ever seen! We have a flock that lives in the woods behind our house. It is so fun to watch the the hatchlings running around. And there is usually one huge Tom strutting around like he is a proud dad. There are also some immature males trying to be just like King Tom. And the poor mommas are trying to keep all of their young safe. They run circles! I can’t wait to see your turkeys hatch. I say at lest 20 will hatch.
