Here's my thought...I personally have a big cold muddy run this time of year. This can be employed over the run and create a sort of 'sun room' during the dreary months. Then when spring approaches, removed and recycled and recreated next year.
She's a red, and right now for a name I am thinking Fergie. She's just so beautiful. It's hard to get the lighting right today. It's raining out and dark and dreary. Of course, I will continue taking pictures as she grows. She just looks like a little bear and it's precious when she wiggles...
Well...I got her!!!! I am going to look into possibly doing agility with her. My kids are quickly growing up and I deserve to have time for an activity of my own now. We have no cattle yet, just birds and rabbits so nothing to herd. I am going to post pics for you so you can see that she is...
We split out time between town & the farm. We have a treadmill to help out with the cabin fever that our 'labrapitt' is kind enough to share with us when he's had his fill.
I am so excited! I have been on the hunt for the perfect 2nd dog for our household. I have been searching, posting, pound hopping, adoption event going till I am exhasted & defeated. But there was a listing this morning and I am meeting someone this morning to look at some Aussie puppies...
I use the cartons also. The only thing that I would be concerned about is having it be so full that there are egg loaded cartons directly under the heating element. I have had a chick singe her eye that way when she was walking around on top of the other eggs yet to hatch.

So as far as her sitting on her own eggs, should I just keep gathering them for now and wait till spring to let her try a clutch? Will she continue to lay for a certain period? Or would you gather the eggs and put them in one spot? I did try that before and they just scattered them.
Here's the scoop. I have two young turkeys that I purchased as chicks last summer from Atwoods. I ended up with a tom & hen. Lucked out on that one! The hen has started laying a week ago, but is laying in random areas. I incubate chicken eggs all the time, but have never tried turkey eggs...
My Crele OEGB are the pets of my mixed flock of standards & bantams. Always underfoot wanting to be held. That's what my girls will end up showing eventually.
