Just checking in with everyone to say HI.... I got my turkeys yesterday and so far they are doing great. I hope they all make it. MY Red broilers are already getting big SO far I like them a lot better then the Cornish Crosses. Well I hope everyone is doing well 

You can install a roller, Pulley what ever ya wanna call it, and hoist the feeder UP out of rodent jumping range, wheich is about 6 feet as what I hear.

But it is so much easier to just put the food away or feed them IN COOP in the first place.

DO NOT BROOD THEM ON SHAVINGS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Use newspaper or sand !

I didn't really think that was an option, so many people have told me that feed and water should stay upside once they're grown to reduce mess in the coop, but I could just as easily leave the hanging feeder in the coop I guess. Won't that make them more likely to frequent the coop all day and make more poop mess instead of stay outside and free range? Thanks for answering all my ???s, I'm still super new to all this!

The Turkeys or the Broilers? I have them on Natures Bedding? 

Got back from work and had a chick in the incubator. Then went to dinner with parents and came back and there was 2.

Hello fellow chicken lovers, I have 2 places. Spokane south hill and Nine Mile Falls. I have 2 incubaters going right now. I hope i do this right.

If you throw them out and don't respond, they will call you. I get them for my "farm" even though I only have a backyard flock, and for college grads. The college one is very long, and I quit my education related job 13 years ago, so I hate filling the darn thing out. They will call and hound you until it is done. I ended up doing them over the phone.

 That is great, I need to start a coop like RFF is going to do but Im just going to have one that has two sides to it. That way I will have to stop getting chicks and new breeds.  I do think Im close at stopping with the breeds I have now.
