OMGosh I would love to come to this but I have to take the kids to meet their teachers today and my daughter for a haircut. Tomorrow is the first day of school so early bedtime for the kids.
I have 2 10 week old BBB poults that are now in the big turkey coop that we just built for them. They were in a large cage but started attacking my hand when I would feed and water them. They have been in the new big coop for almost 2 weeks now and still will chase you when you go in and get...
