    Incubators 1

    I own a pre '70's Leahy Famous Incubator Model 1200, made of 1 3/4" Redwood, 8 trays, good for 1000 eggs...21"W x 46"D x 54"H I bought it to restore it and sell it after I have at least one hatch just for fun...I've been doing a lot of research on the subject of incubators and found out that GQF...

    What turkey woudl you suggest for backyard flock ?

    I wouldn't clip their wings, it is their ability to fly quickly up-wards that could save them from a preditor. Besides they are dumb, if food and their lodging is a 4 star motel, why would they leave? As long as you have a place they will roost in the evenings, they should be fine. JMO

    Chicken Soup!!! or Wait For The Eggs?

    At this point I'll try it on the next bag....I can't help think what a farmer 150 years ago would have done to solve the problem...other than butchering them.

    Chicken Soup!!! or Wait For The Eggs?

    Yes, I've been feeding them layer as well as free range...lately they have been kept in the coop...to see if they are laying....but no success....I had a small RIR hen laying until a predator ( I assume a raccoon ) got it, now I'm hunting coon!!!!!!

    Chicken Soup!!! or Wait For The Eggs?

    I hope all of you are right, however I sold a pair of Speckled Sussex ( rooster & hen ) and that hen started laying two days after being at her new home. However, I'm enjoying watching them free range and following me around... so I really wouldn't have made chicken soup...

    Why is it so hard to talk to my teacher? *New plan*

    Kargo....being young is tough stuff, being a parent isn't any easier either. Your headed in the right direction by asking for advise, but be careful of the advise you receive... from people who don't know you, but are trying to help. Your family members are on your team, they know and love...

    insulation material question

    The spray foam IMO is over kill and very messy, not to mention sticky. With everything being square you shouldn't have any big gaps,...there fore I would go with the roll insulation and remember chickens have survived the Vermont winters for many, many years...and because we don't want to be...

    My chicks don't run for cover when the hawks come close

    When mine are free ranging... if a leaf falls or a butterfly is over head, they run for cover....if a predator hasn't taught you a lesson yet it is just a matter of time and they will....watch for the neighbor's dog Fido and the hawk.

    When can poults free range

    I would wait until they can fly a bit and run like the dickens....also buy some guineas as watch dogs for them...and it helps that you stick around while they are grazing...I had neighbor dogs from 2 miles away kill 7 out of 8 turkey's and 6 chickens one day when I wasn't there for the afternoon.

    Cost to raise turkeys

    I don't figure feed as a cost, it's a necessity to maintain my yard art...we aren't supposed to eat a turkey...just enjoy their company.
