My experience with Party Fowl was not as good, I sent a message trying to order a custom duck harness, and didn't get a reply for 2 weeks, so I sent another message. This time I got a response and so I asked what fabric patterns she had as they were not listed and if I could mail in spandex...
I have not ordered his cross-breed assortment myself. I ordered Pencilled Palms & a Mottled Black last year, they are the friendliest turkeys I have ever met. The jennies just began laying this week. Mr. Porter was helpful in his emails to me, but I just asked direct queries as I knew he was...
My latest coop, made from a donation from an entertainment center. The door closest to the left is storage for feed & bedding. The 3 doors to the right of that are separate nesting boxes. The piece of metal tubing in front of it was just in the pic, it was moved shortly after.

How far did they travel from? Losing a few in transit is sad, but can happen with shipment. I'd say as long as they are eating & drinking with sufficient heat, the rest should be fine. I give my new arrivals sugar water when they first arrive and use a 100 watt red bulb to keep them warm. I feed...
