Hi Debir!
Sounds like the chick raising is going well and the little turkey poult made it! Mine are fine as well- we sort of wimped out on the A frame -- we made the A and then found all these window screens in the basement so just put the A frame at the bottom of the run with 4 windows screens around it and a roll of poultry netting over the top of the A -- it works, and I figure we are not going to need it for more than the couple of weeks to socialize the chicks to the older ones (we are just doing a couple of hours a day so far ) ...
Also was off at work for the past couple of days and returned to find that they LOVE the bunny waterer-- theres a little quail waterer in their brooder for backup and I dont know if its just boredom or what but last night I could hear them peck peck pecking at the the little metal ball in the bunny waterer (some will peck then get their beaks in and take a good size swig of water)-- not sure how much hydration they are actually getting hence the backup waterer, but about the half the water in a 32 ounce bottle is gone ( I have the electrolytes in the bunny waterer as a treat , just cause I have some left over).....Anyways thats my update....
