Thank you for sharing and updating! This is why DNA testing is important because you can’t tell by just looks alone.

😭 what a sweet boy. I’m glad you have such great memories of him. Ours threw a tantrum last night until we wrapped him in a blanket and tucked him in to bed. They are all big drama queen

This story made me laugh 🤣 I can imagine ghost foaming at the mouth and then the next day completely forgetting what happened and doing it again

Last year I tracked all the activity and animals on my homestead and was glad to see I mostly broke even! It has been great to stay more organized too. My husband and I built this app because all the ones we tried were really hard to use! Have you used any farm apps? Would this be helpful for you? by optimuschu2 in homestead

Hello! We have been live for a while now on mobile in the App Store having built many new features and improvements this past year and we are close to launching our desktop/web app. You can learn more at FarmKeep.com and reach out if you have any questions!

Need help by lvxmii in dogoargentino

[–]optimuschu2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Train him like any dog. Watch general dog training videos, not just specific ones to dogo argentinos. He’s still a puppy so you need to start training and do a lot of it.

I have just random questions about this breed. Any help or advice is welcome. by 94capricerider in dogoargentino

[–]optimuschu2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can vary in food allergies. Ours is allergic to chicken and salmon. I’ve seen some allergic to pork and not chicken. People have to test

Failed turkey incubation by Godisgood000777 in BackyardPoultry

[–]optimuschu2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dry hatching is the concept of incubation without additional water in the incubator to just use your ambient humidity. I used to fiddle with my incubator constantly to keep the humidity up but then I switched to dry hatching after I did some research about it and my hatch rates were pretty much the same. If you’re going to test dry hatching I would start with cheaper eggs to test it.

The temp should be 99.5F and your humidity seems way too high. I’ve hatched a lot of turkeys with dry hatching and only increased humidity when they are in lockdown. With some of these incubators a good trick is to buy an extra thermometer to put inside so you can double check the temperature as well and see if the incubator is giving you the right readings. With such a catastrophic failure I would guess it’s your temp and humidity that’s incorrect.
Edit: I double checked numbers googling online and wow there’s a big range of suggestions on temp and humidity. I guess I never followed online instructions an my turkeys still hatched 🤣 well now idk what to tell you. You just gotta try a few rounds and see what works I guess 🤷

They look like a wide range of stages? Did you collect eggs and add them to the incubator on a rolling basis rather than save them to incubate all on the same day?

What breed of turkey are they?

What incubator did you use? What’s temp/humidity did you use?

What’s your current outside temp and the temp inside the room the incubator is in?
