@Chic Rustler - they still are not done laying. They haven't started sitting yet. The two hens have only laid 23 eggs. I suspect they have a few.more to.lay before they start sitting. At least I know these eggs haven't froze

Momma hen (me) is ready - all I need now is some baby turkeys.
Scrap lumber brooder in the nursery yard with 150 watt heat lamp ready to go.
Working hard at making baby turkeys. I'm expecting the first baby turkeys to hatch sometime this week.

With all these zipped shells, I would think there has to be some baby turkeys. But I'll be doggone if I can find them. Probably hiding under the hens keeping warm. IDK... I put some food in where they are brooding, they already had water in there.

Well if your scarred - say you're scarred -:lol
You have good reason to be scarred though. Turkey pecks draw blood, but not so much that they leave a welt, just a bloody pinch really. Still quite a bit worse than a rooster peck though.
