good morning @perchie.girl when you build the coop do you plan on doing it yourself or have someone else do it?

I can do most of it.... Most of the materials are already here and disassembled. Dog kennel panels are incredibly easy to mess with....

I just scanned in my latest sketches

individual partition detail


cross section through Guinea Fowl partition. Its going to be 24 food long



perspective showing orientation with the horse corral and the run on the back side of the poultry house

because the roof is tin and I know my horse there is about a three foot gap between the horse corral and the poultry house... the fence coming up to the middle of the house will be the fence to the yard.... with cattle panels and a top rail.

bronze turkeys can breed m naturally. Broad Breasted bronze cannot.

See, I knew I read soemthing..

awesome you took the question I was about to ask LOL if they had bronze and bronze breasted... I have heard the toms when they are younger have been reported to mate naturally but not the norm........


I really like the weight and size of dumpling so far he is I dunno probly a good 20 pounds right now he is huge.... be interesting to see how big he ends up getting......... I think I might like to try raising a royal white palm next year...........if they get large like the bronze breasted does...................

I'll try and take pictures for you tonight. DH says they are ugly right now, I just think it...

they are around ten bucks at the feed store... The one I have on my horse trough has been there since 2004 so... eleven years. works perfect with low pressure too. I love the fact that they serve 110 gallon tank down to a five gallon tub with very little tweaking.

@Austinspoultry too bad you aren't closer... I actually have a young Red Pyle OEGB trio I am wanting to rehome...

Oh bresse! I added white bresse this year too!

 

[bamadude]

do you have an automatic watering system @bamadude

No. My neighbor uses a toilet valve for his though.
I have several things on my "to-do" list.

Hmmm... so does that mean we're a bunch of loudmouth troublemakers or the cool kids on the block??
