I know this was from a few days ago but I wanted to let you know that that is normal on turkens. They have less feathers so the weird chicken anatomy shows up better.
With cackle, if you call them and order they will send the chicks on a date you request. If you order online, they send them the next available date in the order that your request was processed.
I usually set these up in my garage. Also forgot to mention that water troughs make great brooders as well. The tricky part is just making a lid to cover it.
I always used rubbernaid containers for brooders. Easiest set up! I usually cut out a portion of the lid and attach chicken wire or netting to it. Then I hang a light above the box. Super easy to make, cheap, and you can add more as needed. Great for waterfowl because they are easy to clean.
I got this a few times and have always gotten An awesome assortment. I usually get ducks in my order but always get a great variety of chicks. One time it worked out that I got a pair of pretty much everything and they sold great at the fair. I love cackle. They have awesome customer service...
