I was guessing it was a really small dirt box.

Just a big crate!

Lower left corner, but the dummies wouldn't use it so they have a Dirt Pile now until I get a shorter one.

So, my dummies aren't the only ones who refuse to jump up into a playpen. I even put treats up there and they won't touch them. They really like the lowest possible level. Put their food up on one. They found that one.

Speaking of which, I have a modified food storage container holding the food and the boys are wearing the feathers off the back of their heads. Yep, confirmed the boys are doing this. They are 5 weeks old, so only a short term problem.

Speaking of which, when you select your stud, do you weigh each one or just eyeball? Touchy feely? They all look the same.

I tried watching, but they REALLY like watching me watch them watching me. Mexican standoff style. Then we run and hide. Interesting when they flush at me. Is that common?

Touchy feely, and yes. Flushing is very normal.

When I offed the extra girls a while back I was for sure the smallest looking one was going to weigh less. She did not.

YAYYY! Who else has them in the 'bator? @BantyChooks ? when are yours due?


Mine are at that age where if you stare at them intensely they get freaked out and start chain reaction popcorning all about the cage. Big guys are hitting the ceiling on the soft crate now occasionally. I love this thing for juvies!

Don't you know you should never stare an animal in the eyes....freaks them out...that's what predators do! horses are bad about it, too! Almost every wild animal is that way.
