    What is sevin dust?

    I also use use Sevin-dust on the ground under ALL my cages. Also on chicken that have a severe mite/lice problem. DE works in coop and covered run. but useless where it can get wet. Been using Sevin in garden for 20 years+, on chicken 3 years+

    Breeding pen ideas, anyone?

    3ft per chicken, more if you can, so a 9ftx9ft would be the smallest I would go. and a part of it needs to be kinda high. The high part will be the roost, needs to be at least 6-7ft IMO

    incubator was at 115 degrees! are chicks alive?

    Turkeys grow at a lot slower pace then chickens. So most likely would get picked on and or killed. I would personally raise the turkey on my own and leave the chickens in with the other ones

    Just a 6'x2' run itself would hold 5-6hens to 1 roo each easy. I used to hold a 4:1 setup in 3'x2' setup and they acted happy.

    Did you put the turkey in same day? Turkey usually take 28 days. Chicken only take 21.

    incubator was at 115 degrees! are chicks alive?

    I have had a 120* spike for a few hours. and still 80%+ hatch rate. If it is time you can water test them. They should float and wiggle like crazy.

    Incubator temps and variations.

    I have read several articles and forum posts. Some say keep to the 99.5*, some say drop 3-5 degrees for night time change. But from my experience, roughly 4 years, and 7+ incubations not counting the reptiles i used to incubate. I keep 101-102* and I have awesome %s. Only bird i found 99-100*...

    When to change feed

    Birth-Feathers = starter Feathers until month 5 = grower 5 months + = Layer (crumbles for bantams, pellets for LF) On the feed unless you want to go nonGMO then it doesnt matter. Free Range being the easiest.
