[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 5890608, member: 10399"] Theoretically, I suppose they could get cold enough to freeze and kill the embryo. But a 38* morning with light frost isn't going to do it. And that would only be a concern if there was an unprecedented cold snap that hit during the week or two after a nest has been started but before all the eggs were laid and the hen starts incubating. I suppose it has probably happened in more northern areas, but I can’t imagine it being a problem in TN. I think God accounted for some cold spring mornings when he made turkeys. [/QUOTE]
