First Orloff telling the Ameraucana to hurry up!

Too cute!!!

Finally got to building my new outdoor brooder. I have no problem with a dozen chicks or half a dozen turkeys in the house for a couple of weeks, I am set up for that. But I have over 200 eggs growing in the incubator and need somewhere to grow them, plus a dozen chicks and a half dozen turkeys in the house and a half dozen turkeys in the grow out pen. So I started on a two tier brooder. Dimensions are based on the size of the grow out room and made use of 3 partial sheets of OSB salvaged from a restaurant construction job. I still need to make the doors and floors, but it's coming along. I'll just plop a piece of corrugated plastic roof panel on top for now and improve on it later. 56" wide, 30" deep, 60" high with 22" clear underneath (there is a door to the outdoor run behind the spot I am installing this) with 2 18" high brooder pens. Wire mesh floors will allow droppings to fall, a catch board or pan will be installed underneath. Since there is no way to get it into the coop assembled, It's built for easy knockdown and reassembly. Once in place, I'll install additional screws in the back panel to hold it all together. I may build a removable divider for the upper pen for starting chicks and turkeys at the same time, but not sure yet. I usually leave turkeys inside for a couple of weeks until they are fairly well feathered.

Please keep all phumbs inside and in an upright position at all times... Seriously, awesome job!! Wanna come down and do mine??

e: Came home to four! And the EE made it on his own! This is flock's. EE :

Yay!!!!

That's awesome. Congratulations on the little Flockee!

Or Flocker?

Here's my EEs at 3 days old Hiding in the corner as long as the phone is in there, otherwise they are running and scratching like crazy. This one is my favorite as far as color. This one is the ringleader.

It's something about the phone... it comes out and they all either run or photobomb it... Btw, they all have the salty look down pat already...

Howdy peeps....kids went home....I'm beat...wife's doing better....

Good!! And glad to hear she listened to reason...

Take a look at these muffs, these are from SF-Am roo over his SF-Am x SF-Am daughters: I think this one is over a Brahma cross daughter. And over RSL: They just got toe punched so don't mind the bit of blood. And they are not reliably feather sexable. Secondary characteristics work pretty well though, shape of shank, three row comb, squawkish voice and assertive behavior are generally males.

Holy cheeiite!! That Brahma cross is gonna poke it's eyes out with its own muffs!!

I really like those SF-AMs too.

Looks like I'll stay up for this one to finish, and I just saw a pip in another homegrown Orloff. (Nothing more from the shipped set. )

might as well turn the Keurig on.
