wow! so nice, you should get some burlap to hang over the fronts as a light blocker too....sure wish you could build me some!! :thumbsup:woot bet your chooks will love you!!

i've never heard of fleas on turkeys or any poultry before....is this a thing?

i would choose royal palm turks, nice heritage breed...not sure what the dressed out wt. would be tho

yes, we always wear a mask when cleaning coop, it's so dusty and dirty, i feel it is definitely needed

very very dry here, where are you located?

wow, incredible!! i've been following a friend of mine's journey of bee keeping and am very interested, maybe not for this year but eventually....i love honey!!

wow, i didn't think it would really matter with a heat plate? i have my 3 week old chicks outside in the chicken house with a heat plate and they act like it doesn't exist, course it was 90* today but even at night it gets down to 60* or so and still they ignore it....

nice hatch!! love the picture <3

agree with Callender Girls post!! i have had lots of birds over the years but now stick to chickens mainly as i have trouble keeping them safe from predators around. love them all though!!

why platforms and not roosts? sounds like more areas to clean?

one year i got 3 straight run royal palm turks, they turned out to be all hens, it can happen!

thanks for all the replies, I did slip my hand in quickly and got out the dry ones yesterday, them more today...one is still pipping, tonight, if no more hatch, I'll be done.

I have some eggs hatching in an incubator right now! So excited! But I have a question; I'm following the dry hatch method as I have Marans eggs in there, and I've stuck to it pretty well. Question is, I locked down on the 18th day, but then on the 19th day, the first egg hatched! So today...
