You're right, you're right. I will try to take pics today and post. She has grown a lot. I tried to take a pic of her yesterday but when I opened up her coops, she fly out.

She is soooo bad.

I've been at work all day today and have been worried about them... I still have about 1.5 hours to go before I'm home...

You're just as bad as me when I get new hatches. I worry like Ms. Wendy Worrysome. They are ok. You only have 1.5 hours to go. You can do it.

All's well!!! I got home to a chorus of chirps and cheeps!!!

They are definitely eating from the foil. Now, how do I transition them over to the feeder?

Yea !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Told you that they would be ok. Leave the foil down for a few more days. Let them get use to pecking food for a few days. After a few days and you are 100% positive that they have established and learned "how to eat", remove the foil and leave the feeder. They will know where the feed is. It will all work out.

will do. Thanks for the info and for listening/getting back to me... Having someone to discuss/bounce ideas off of is important. This forum gives us such a wealth of knowledge that I would never have access to otherwise.

Ok, you asked for it, so here are a few pics. I couldn't take too many because she was ready to fly out of her brooder. She is doing VERY well. She has 2 other poults her size and 3 other poults that are getting bigger so that they can join their group. I had to care for all 6 of them in my back room being as though the mama turkeys had no interest in them because the mama turkeys wanted to continue to sit on eggs.
