of course if usps handles bulbs anything like eggs, they may not make it intact!

Ain't that the truth!

DH found a new brine recipe that we used on our turkeys! it’s sage, black peppercorns, 1/2 gal apple cider and 1/2 bottle jim beam, 6 oz maple syrup, and kosher salt...(per bucket).....he said he could basically drink the brine!! apple-cherry stuffing in the smoked one and the smoker pellets are cherry the other will be fried. had a really difficult time getting all the quills out of the birds this year.....

You might use a seedling starter pad under the bedding/puppy pad. I got a couple on Amazon, cheap. I used them under goslings, then ducks. They wipe clean. Fab! They’re just gently warm so might not be sufficient in themselves for super teeny-tinies.

I do like the reptile bulbs. They’re kind of pricey, but maybe they last a long time. I’m vewy, vewy careful with them. It’s nice, to be able to sleep in the dark. Less cheeping, at least with chicken, turkey, duck & goose babies.

My first quail... the used a heating pad leaned up against the side of the cage with just a few inches of the pad along the bottom of the cage. Think L shape. It worked.

I am a support group leader with my doctor and I offered to do a chicken BBQ when spring time comes with the chickens we are raising. He was so excited that I offered. We are going to be buying a propane smoker and using that.

Yesterday I gave him a dozen eggs and I've never seen somebody so excited over Farm fresh eggs.

The turkey recipe I'll be using next Thanksgiving when we have our broad breasted turkeys.
