Love the pictures!! You are a good photographer! I really enjoy seeing the Turkeys around here. My favorite though is seeing the Bobcats now that they can't get into my chicken yard

It was a little scary when we saw a Mountain Lion down at our creek with a baby! I didn't walk our property for awhile after that

Wild turkeys in our backyard. I lost count around 26.


can you see my kitty?

they start filtering into the yard around 8pm





within 30 minutes they are up in the trees roosting.

I have eggs in my incubators!

A new one to me are Pita Pintas. I also have EO Basque and Partridge Pendesencas in there.

I was worried that I would not be able to tell the chiks apart until I found a picture of Pita Pinta chicks:

Marraduna EO Basque look like:



Megan, some of these are the ones you have now! They sure do change...

I hope I have a good hatch!

Where we are so far:










Please help us decide a lay box/roost orientation. Pleaseeeee....oh my coop is 8x8. I think I like the first idea better. Seems simpler and less work. Would it bother the hens to have the roosting shelf above them though?

Wow! What a lot of work you've done! Looking great! Personally, I like the top configuration because it looks simpler to build, and the roosts are at the same level, so less squabbling. You could add a broody box along another side, but then would have to deal with chickens trying to roost on it. Maybe a storage cabinet on top?

ahhh! that makes sense. Those turkeys are gorgeous. I just put some turkey eggs in the bator, I'm wondering if ill get more turkey visitors once they are out!

You always come up with new breeds that I've never heard of, and then I have to resarch, and then I want some!

Those chickies are adorable! Wishing you an EGGScellent hatch!
