So I have decided that the broody turkey hen in my coop is acting as a nanny for the broody mama with the two poults. She had them under her last night while the broody chicken mama was perched on the roost. :lol: Here they are playing with the turkey. She doesn't mind at all.

I still haven't tried that yet It seems pretty basic, but seems like something I could only so if the temps are above freezing. Add warm water, keep it covered with some kind of mesh, and stir, right? Something like that?

I only had 6 chickens, so I used 4 ferment jars. Never had any problem with the food. I believe it helps the overall health of the birds. But the beard on the sexlink's face was always messy.

My 6 week olds have been on it for about 7 days. They love it. This morning when my son took of brooder cover and grabbed the food 10 of the chicks jumped out and chased him to the bathroom where we have it. They jumped dogs and tables and my daughter sitting on the floor. Funniest thing I've ever seen lol. Cant wait till it warms up and I can do it outside!

Pretty much!
I started with a five gallon bucket inside, then moved to a plastic barrel in the storage area of the coop. It slows in the winter, but I mixed it more, and added hot water when it was frozen.

I couldn't sell her with the others. I never hatched one like her so i need to raise her out to see what she grows in to. I'm half tempted to let my broody turkey raise her but i don't want to risk losing her either. I may just give Queenie a couple CCL boys to raise instead and make this little one another snuggler. There's nothing more satisfying than hugging a turkey lol.
