Speaking of Wild Turkeys
I said on another thread that there were more turkeys around here than usual. Just a minute ago I found this on the deck. A wild turkey egg.
Only way it got there, the Beagle retrieved it. Not cracked not a mark on it.

I can think of another way. Don

There’s a hen sitting on her nest down the hill below my house in plain sight. I’ve got the game camera on her eggs. I hope to get some good pictures.

The beagle must have long legs

Just think, if you get it to hatch you will have a domestic wild turkey on your hands! 😲
The PERFECT decoy!

Daisy the Turkey Hound Part 2.
I was making up the sofa a minute ago. I pulled up the blanket on the bottom and I saw, tucked away another turkey egg.
Daisy got that other egg several days ago so I guess she got this one at the same time. You know how a dog will bury a bone in the yard. That mutt Daisy snuck a second turkey egg into the house, and buried it in the sofa.
I lay down on that sofa every day, it is a miracle that egg didn't break into a huge mess. Turkey eggs are tough, I guess.

Few years ago my Dad would use my bloodhound to trail wild turkey hens to their nest and then get most of the eggs and place them into a regular chicken that was already nesting and get a good turkey hatch.
Very few wild turkey nest eggs survive and also turkeys when they first hatch.

Probably just the Easter Bunny.

Raising, hatching, keeping wild turkeys have gotten a lot of people pinched by the DNR here in Indiana.
A dog handling those eggs without breaking them is cool.

There’s a hen sitting on her nest down the hill below my house in plain sight. I’ve got the game camera on her eggs. I hope to get some good pictures.
last Thursday I noticed she was gone. I went down to where her nest was and no eggs. Turkey feathers everywhere. I took the game camera home and had 383 good pictures. Deer would come by her in the night and get close to smell her.
Toward the end, a picture of a small fox comes into view. One by one, he carried the nine eggs off. There’s a picture of her fanned out, I suppose that she was trying to scare the fox off. In the end, he killed her and carried her off too.
When I get the pictures loaded onto my table, I’ll post some .

That is a sad story, jimdeere. By the same token I wish my dog hadn't raided that turkey nest I like to see the turkeys in the woods. Mother Nature is cruel.
