A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

Speaking of nosy turkeys...
I brought home some Ayam Cemanis the other day. I put them in a playpen today to introduce them to the flock. I come home to yelping turkeys. They somehow managed to get into the pen, but couldn't get out. I'm sure the little Ayams were not amused. Haha!

Hi all. It's Dinner and Yumyum mom here.

Because the manure is in the ground it doesn't freeze as long as it continues to compost and release heat. I have used this method out in the open during -30°F temperatures. At that time I had fresh horse droppings to use and never got more than 1/2" of ice on the top of the bucket. Removing the ice in the morning would keep the water open for the rest of the day. The water in the bucket that was below the ground level never froze.

For people that live in the warmer zones such as @memphis , she might even be able to get by with just putting the bucket in a hole without any manure and having the ground insulate it. I often don't get around to replacing the manure until mid winter and have found the ground insulation value to prevent freezing down to 0°F. Once it gets below that I have to replace the manure since the ground insulation effect isn't enough by itself once the composting effect is over.

If you have a manure pile like we had when I was growing up, you could go out on your coldest day and dig into the manure pile and find plenty of heat in there even if the outside of the pile is frozen.

I might have to try this especially since I have an overload of ferret poop.

Was just looking at their cages debating whether I could improvise a bucket for them to use instead of litter pans. Would save me a step or two.
