First Annual Cinco de Mayo Turkey Hatchathon- Join us! Set Day: Easter

[debs_flock]

How precious! Want! I see a little roo there in the middle and several pullets that need a new home. Umm, there's 8 boys and 5 girls!!! Where did they come from? Duane Urch Did you say you hatched them? Nope When are you planning to ship them to me? I think I might could come get them if you meet me half way, like in Santa Fe? LOL! They are beautiful, yes even at that age, and I am so jealous! Want! Want! Want! Want! Want!

And in answer to the shipping....................if their markings/type come out nicely, how about some eggs in about six months???

If I can get my act together in the hatching department, I'll take you up on those eggs! If the markings and type don't come out right (I hope they do, though, for your sake) I'll take the birds off your hands. I just like them for yard ornaments and those cute little white eggs. Let me know!

Finally got the Hoop Coop for Freezer Camp bound roosters done. We're exhausted. My pack mule of a BF had to drag it up the hill, too. I felt so bad for him.

But... it's done and it has new occupants. And Hoppy, the most personable chicken ever, and also the self-appointed INTRUDERS! police pointed out that there were, in fact INTRUDERS! in the yard. It was an emergency.

It took two of us most of Wednesday and about 4 more hours today.

When I say two of us working, mostly I fetched tools but I did staple (the pneumatic staple gun was awesome!) and weave the pieces of the fencing together.

That all counts as labor !! I remember using the nailing gun when placing the plywoodfor the flooring of our house. Very fun. Just wish dear BIL had pulled it out for my use BEFORE my hands were hamburg from hand nailing! Coop looks great!

This would be great for a grow out pen. I like to free range but often lose young birds to hawks. If I had one of these, I could keep them in it until they were too big for Mr. Hawk. Is that two fence panels that make the arch? I am still short on flat places, though!

SCG - where is the line in your siggy from?

4 part year residents and 3 to 4 permanent ones. The coop is 8X8 so the most I would want in the winter is 4 or 5 the run is 17' X 30'. Although the last turkeys I had never used the coop except to lay eggs and brood them.
