@kwikflikz Very good aswer!

I'm amazed at how many eggs you got from the small amounts of hens u have and even in the short days of winter.
-
Great egg production! What do you feed them? We only have chickens now, and are trying to get their egg production up! (we mix our own feed) Great video- would like to do turkey next year!

That is a lot of eggs! And nice looking broilers - we were given two to eat and they were delicious - so we may try rearing them ourselves this year...

Keeping turkeys and hens in the same coop can promote a disease that is deadly to turkeys called blackhead.

Your birds seem to handle the snow and cold really well. The fox in my area LOVED attacking my broad-breasted bronze turkeys. Hopefully you won't have the same problem. Great egg production by the way. wow!

yeah...they are (were - the turkeys all went to freezer camp)) a hardy bunch. my hens have been sticking it out in the cold with only straw bale insulation (no hydro) and it has been a very cold winter so far! still laying daily!
a little trick i've come up with is putting a bucket of fresh snow in the coop everyday along with a bucket of fresh water.... the water freezes after 5 or 6 hours, but the snow stays soft so they can peck and eat it. they think it's a treat!
