I have over 40 chicks coming or hatching! I have brooders on my porch and in the shed. I am selling off quite a or have sold off. So I needed some more. I will make a little area in my coop fenced in so they can get used to the others before I turn them loose with the other birds. Your turkey should be feathered out at a month old but will still need some place warm to bed down. My turkey did not touch the ground till they were two months old. I did not want to risk loosing them.Wow Bama, I hate mold, yuck....lots of work, but it will be so lovely when it is done.
Chickadoodles, eek! A chicken fest! How many little chicks are you gonna have? I can't imagine!
I am winding down for the year already. Not enough heat for little chicks anymore. Those five in my bathtub...I am not sure about putting them outside...I am worried they will get too cold. The blasted turkey is five weeks old, and was too cold in my roofed duck shelter, tarp over all the chicken wire etc., but it was still too cold for him, so he is in the coop (insulated, glass windows, can shut down almost all vents to get it warmer).
