my neighbors just got chickens and the fence is chain link separating the yards. should I be concerned of their new chickens spreading anything to mine? because I no longer can allow them to free range my backyard now.
We had a early baby hatch 5 days before suppose to. This is the first for us. The egg turner was still on, and humidity the same before lock down. Now do i turn the egg turner off? Or hand turn them? Get the baby out after it drys? Do i need to put them on lock down now?
Thanks

We are fairly new to owning turkeys. This will be our first winter with them. The picture below is the temporary setup we got for them, until the barn is finished in the spring. They will not go into the house, just sleep on the roof. It gets pretty cold here in TN and possibly ice...
