Here are a couple of pictures of my brooders and tractors. I just got my first batch of 80 Cornish X's, 6 layers, and 8 BB White turkeys. Also a couple of random pics.

Nice setup Jaku. How long do you raise the Turkeys for?

I don't actually know- this will be my first time with turkeys. I'm counting on the people here to help me out with that part.

That jerky does look good. I am going to have to try making some. I used to make rabbit jerky but no more rabbits.

Thanks so much posting all these pics! Nice set-up! Love the tractors!
I have dial-up and it took 1/2 hr to load ( I know you wrote pic heavy in title) but I had to look! It was well worth the wait!
Cool, do you know rough cost of building either tractors or both combined? Just a rough estimtate? Thanks again

Jacku, you are inspiring.

So how long did it take to build those two tractors?
