I just checked the atmospheric humidity for my area and we're at 87% today!

My run is officially winterized. Spoiled silkies!

Good job!

Wanna come do mine?

Lol. I put off doing it all month and I'm the kinda person that does not tolerate being cold well, so I knew I better get my butt out there this weekend before November creeps up on me and I'd have to freeze my tush off!

My new building with coops and runs is almost finished.

We're getting ready to build some bigger runs and a couple more coops for these guys. Since I don't have horses anymore I think we're going to use the horses old pasture for the chickens and the potbelly. It's about 2 acres. We're going to devide it up for all the different breeds and the pig will have the area around the chicken's runs. I have a question though, will pig food hurt a chicken or can they eat it without it making them sick? The potbelly is really sloppy with her food and it goes everywhere. It's regular cheap hog feed.
ETA: I can tell y'all the gaurenteed analysis from the back of the bag if that helps.

Exactly! I really wanted my last eggs to hatch after those bad batches. And I had to get my candling fix somehow...so I was happy just to see veins and occasionally movement without touching them.

Yea, I was surprised that it gave me my fix, lol. I kept thinking I'm still going to want to candle them again after but no, I was fine. Genius idea And I love the winterized runs, when I build our new runs and stuff I'm going to do that too.

I'm sure there are some commercial turkey farmers over there, with those monster enclosures with the half walls. The ones I've seen have big tarps or heavy plastic sheeting that can be rolled up like an awning for warm weather, or lowered to keep the cold out. I'm sure they'd be glad to show you how they've done theirs; might give you an idea or two.

Or, you could design the runs to accommodate what amounts to old-fashioned storm windows that hook to the top of the window frame so you can remove them or install them, depending on the season.
