Turkey for Hatching 
We have five turkey hens that are 10 
months old, and a tom three years old. 
\V dl the first eggs they lay be suitable for 
hatching? IIow long can the eggs be kept 
and still be good for hatching purposes? 
No. Springfield, Mass. mrs. n. w. c. 
The first eggs laid should be fertile if 
the male has been running with the flock 
for a few weeks, perhaps for a few days 
only. I do not know the extreme limits 
of hatchability of turkey eggs, but two 
or three weeks is probably the limit of 
reasonable holding. Hen eggs may hatch 
after a month of holding, but they decline 
in value rapidly after two weeks. Tur¬ 
key eggs should be gathered daily, kept in 
a cool place and turned each day before 
they are given to the hens. The sooner 
after laying that any eggs can be incu¬ 
bated the better. m. b. d.
