It is hot hot today, but thankfully, the new coop allows for great air flow! The Coop is finally done. It is not tooo heavy, but I think it will be solid enough for Aries and Luna. I will still need to paint it. It's only a primer right now. But you can see that the Poults are over a foot tall now and growing rapidly. They are just starting to get feathers developing on the backs of their necks. A canvas tarp will protect them in the evenings and on rainy days. I will need to start on their run now. It will be similar in style, but setting on the ground to allow them to forage safely. Heritage turkeys are supposed to be great foragers. As they get older/bigger, we will let them out of the pen and forage in the field.
