Found a Clutch of Turkey Eggs

We've got a wild turkey nest near the horse pond in the pasture. She nests there every year. Here's a really bad photo of a group of our wild turkeys crossing the driveway:

When we lived in the 'burbs the turkeys would march down our driveway. It's kind of funny that we saw many more deer and turkey in the 'burbs than we do out here.

There has been a number of times over the years DH has hit a nest while cutting hay. One year I saved a clutch that he half squashed. I incubator hatched them with some other turkey eggs I had. Three hatched and I put them in with the domestic babies. They were all the same age. They died when they were about 2-3 weeks old. They were WILD WILD things. Whenever I would go into the coop to feed the group (maybe 20 domestic babies), the three wild ones would bash themselves against the far wall trying to get away from me. I think thats what killed them.

I jjust read a book about a man who lived in the Florida Panhandle who raised 2 nests of turkey eggs where the moms got killed by hay mowers. He was present for each hatching and the babies imprinted on him. The groups shared the incubator and brooder. I left the book at the lake...something maybe about flatlands...flatlands reveries? Lemme go try google.

Good one Rick. That was one of the best lines in the whole movie.
