Funny it was mentioned have a bonfire for Christmas. I was considering having a fire in my fire pit as a Christmas eve celebration. Just something feels right about that.

Everyone's home grown turkeys looked so good! Blarneyeggs what breed were your turkeys? They were so pretty.

I was able to repair one run today so I feel accomplished. lol  One more to go. Hubby is planning on making a roof for part of one of the runs. We had scored a free roof on craigslist and were saving it to make a barn like coop. Think right now we need the runs more covered sigh

That turkey was a blue slate/Royal Palm cross. Hatch date was April12, processed November 25th.

DHetzel, 21 eggs?! Wow! I got 2 today. I'm sure it's a combination of lack of light and the severe downsizing adding stress to the flock. I've got 7 upcoming pullets that aren't laying yet, such a shame as I really would have liked their eggs in the New Year's Day Hatch.

GM all:

The snow has really got my flock acting bass ackwards.....for the third night in a row, the roos have been roosting in coop#2, and last night the 7 week old didn't make it back to the main coop, I found him in the coop#2 pen chirping for mom(in the dark)....I'm not sure he would've made it through the night outside...and my brown leghorn has decided to stay in the coop all day....

On the egg front, I am getting 1-2 a day out of 14 girls...

Glad you got the babe back to mom!

You know what's really frustrating? Waiting for cute little serama eggs. My hen is 33 weeks old and her comb and wattles are still little. I felt the bones near her vent, and only my thumb fits inbetween them. So we got at least another month of waiting. I also have the guineas coming into the POL, but haven't seem them mating or squatting yet. They're 20(?) weeks old I think? Everyone on internet searches said theirs started laying at 16-18 weeks...
