Hello everyone,
I wanted to post a question here to see what you all think. So... I had a broody hen who had been laying on eggs for a while. THAT... didn't work out... so I went to my local farm store and bought 10 chicks to replace the 10 eggs. The funny thing is... the hen is a turkey... and the chicks are... well... you know...
So... anyway, the turkey did end up taking to the chicks, and they are currently snuggling together in the coop.
Outside of feeding and watering... cleaning... etc... what should I do tomorrow... (we are supposed to have thunderstorms tomorrow). Should I open the coop door and let them go out into the run area... or should I just leave them in the coop for the day.
FYI... I took the day off just to keep an eye on them tomorrow...
Thank-you all for your advice!
Don
