    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...

    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!

  • @BabyShenanigans
    @BabyShenanigans4 жыл бұрын

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    "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 :)

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!
