Big day out

The "babies", two turkey poults and 9 chicks that I hatched in my incubator, are growing bored of the brooder box. Whenever the screen is lifted they have a "play day".


So, with a warm spring day upon us I took them outside to the "tractor box".



They are 15 days old in these pictures. Another two weeks and they should be ready to go outside full time, weather permitting.


I wonder how many of the 9 will end up being hens?

    I take it you are counting on mostly hens. Then wouldn't nine be a great number?

    Yes, 9 would be great, but I'm not holding my breath. We'll see what happens! I've already got the 6 "big girl" hens that the hatching eggs came from, 6 more "teenager girls" that are already outside, so more hens would be great....
