from porters turkeys "Poult color/pattern at hatch is yellow downed with or without a single black strip going down it's back." http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/Turkeys/BRKRoyalPalm.html

4 part year residents and 3 to 4 permanent ones. The coop is 8X8 so the most I would want in the winter is 4 or 5 the run is 17' X 30'. Although the last turkeys I had never used the coop except to lay eggs and brood them.

So I finished my new turkey coop. Here are the pics for all to see.

Her is how to test your thermometer to see if it is off or how far it is off. Then you can tell what your temps actually are. So if your thermometer reads 2 deg high then subtract 2 deg from the temp reading and vice versa if it is reading low. Ice Point Method ►Fill an insulated cup with...

Either way is fine How about you run the contest and I get the prize?

I would like to host a second contest. It will be another "caption contest" I just need the photo for it, as I do not have any that would work. If anyone has one that they wouldn't mind PM'ing me better yet several to choose from that would be awesome. This is what I am going to offer as the...

?????? got me. what?

Sounds like some creative conning I mean conversation is going to happen to guide this misguided soul towards what is really needed. Not just satisfying a fancy. I too think she needs more than one three at the minimum. Go get her!

It's all in the teeth!!!! takes some practice to not spill it and ruin your jacket though. The trick is not to have the coffee too hot.

Please do join the more the merrier.

no it doesn't, In the toy department.

not to bad the mom will get off the eggs for a while to eat, drink, and defecate I would not worry too much one idea is to get one of these water wigglers and stick a thermometer in it it will mimic the eggs pretty well and you can judge the internal temp of the egg more accurately and not just...

Nice I just love Broodies!!!!!

X a million I am with you all the way on that one.

Very nice! It just so happens I have a can like that with a cracked top as my son after emptying the "bird stuff" while cleaning out the coop threw it and cracked it. I was going to take it to the dump. I wonder if I can use it next spring for turkeys? It is a large can......

You are definitly welcome to join in the fun!

Yes it is, iuse it for smaller sized chickens and banties. I took the lid off cut it out with a jig saw, put the lid back on and saw dust inside. Works like a champ for my Broodies. They feel safe in there. I have never had one leave once they were in it. Not so well for large orpingtons though.
