I got the call today saying that the broilers are in and I can pick them up tomorrow. I'm getting nervous and excited. I'm ready as I'll ever be. Everything is good to go. I added yogurt to the ff mixture. I hope it turns out ok. Will post pics tomorrow.

Fun!!

Are you ready for the size of their poops? They poop a whole lot. I find the FF helps the consistency and a tad with the smell, but definitely not with the sheer amount of crap they can produce.

am I allowed to say crap?

Not sure but I will definitely ask when I pick them up. Thanks for mentioning that, so that I can ask.

Please don't panic. We don't need both of us panicking. Someone has to be calm down here.

I did a little trial run last night with the heat lamps on in the brooder. The temps got down to 29 degrees. I had 2 heat lamps on in the garage in the brooder. I woke up this morning and the temp in the brooder was 91. So, I will have to add 1 more heat lamp to get it up to 99. I"m glad last night was cold so that I could get an idea of what the temps are WITH the heat lamp. I'll make the adjustments tonight. I know that I will be up ALL night long running back and forth making sure the temps are just right. I don't want the little devils to freeze the first night.

I added 2 large containers of organic greek yogurt to the FF. Looking good. I wanted to start another batch last night but I had all the chores in the chicken yard last night and I didn't get inside until late last night. So, I'll start another big batch tonight. I have the FF in a plastic storage container. Those seem to work ok. However, I do want to try the 5 gallon buckets to see how that works as well. I want to add some sunflower seeds and a couple other things to this next batch.

Anyone have any suggestions on other goodies I can add to the the FF?
