bI grew up on a farm, but I never dreamed I’d end up turning my backyard into one! This is my first attempt at raising chicks! I started by brooding 6 chicks at the end of July. They are all thriving and in their new coop! I decided to try brooding 3 turkey poults that are now just over a week old and I thought I would have more time in the small brooder, but this morning 2 had escaped and the 3rd was on the edge! luckily i got them all back in and looks like they are all okay! guess i’m working on a larger brooder today!
Hi there and welcome to BYC.
It looks like you’ve already figured it out that once you get yourself a little flock there’s never a dull moment!
So glad you joined!
I'm with ya! I too grew up on a farm... And I built my own as soon as I possibly could! Glad to hear you're sticking with it!
You'll learn anything you need to know here... It's a wonderful, and friendly flock of helpful people here! Looking forward to seeing more pictures and hearing stories of your little farm!
Hi and welcome to BYC We're so happy you've decided to join us
Turkey poults can be a real blast, my first time with them, came in and had 25 running around the garage and not one in the brooder. Who knew they could jump and fly at a week old? I'll look for you on the turkey forum.
Howdy! It sounds like you are have a FUNomenal time with your new flock!
I’m so thrilled that you decided to join BYC! You are going to LOVE it here!!!
