Nevada, Iowa | Looks very nice. Good luck to you.
Most things in the pics are way new to me and I can't identify most of them. It strikes tho how some things remain so similar. Our experience with birds is very limited but Mom used to get chicks when I was a kid. What appears to be cardboard rings in your pics, really take me back. Mom would always set up a cardboard corrugated ring so the chicks wouldn't pack into the corners of the brooder house and squash each other. It appears that that remains in practice today. The smell of ground corn cobs, new chicks and pine tar sticks in my mind as one of those childhood reminders of the coming of spring.
Oh the pine tar........if I remember correctly, the chicks would sometimes pick at each others butts and Mom would swab their rears with pine tar to get them to quit. Do you have that problem with turkey chicks?
BTW: Last two pics are priceless!! | |
