I cheated I used the bug app.

I see a few Nevada around here but most are rusty. Which are suppose to be endangered.

Not from that small of a picture. That poult is in intermediate feathering. There are two times many poults can be identified. The first is once they are dried out from hatching and the other is when they have their adult feathers.

This afternoon I went out to feed the animals and when I went inside the turkey coop all the turkeys looked like they had just been in a dust devil! They where covered in dust and sand! I went to examine the rest of their coop to find 9 little holes dug up and 2 large ones. They had just been dust bathing together! Such funny little animals!

OK. I did not know that. Is this picture better? right after hatch.

Perhaps @austria89 could tell you.

Hey folks! Hope life is treating everyone well.

I planned my latest poult hatch very poorly, partially due to work, but mostly due to sheer laziness. Went out into the coop tonight and found three little babies running around...

Of course I have no poult starter on hand, and being out in the sticks, it's at least a 100 mile round trip to go grab some. (Assuming the stores even have any right now.)

So, I have a couple questions - what can I use to get them by until I can purchase commercial starter? Does anyone know of recipes for homemade poult feed? I have some ingredients (soybean meal, corn, oats, Fertrell) as I usually mix feed for the adult turks.
