    So, you will have to travel daily to feed/water the birds?

    Haha No my sweeties sister lives on the property. The turkey pullets are at my sweeties in a town not far from the coop and I’m keeping the chickens at my place until we have sufficient housing built in the coop. Likely just weekend visits from time to time and egg collection as needed. Seems a little complicated but when all is said and done they will be in one spot and securing the coop with good hardware cloth and easy to use set up, I see a drop in predator success.

    Yes and I was informed again as they are black and white Double Breasted and will be ready for Thanksgiving but hope to let them breed some if possible. Who knows if a gobbler and a hen will show.

    That cat was sure interested in them. Any issues with her and the chicks?

    Glad they made it safe and sound! I wonder if there is still a run on for chicks?
