Comments

I know you published this in 2012, but I still wanted to thank you for posting it. It is a great design, totally different from anything I had in mind. I agree with some of the comments about you losing focus to talk about your turkeys, but that is how a poultry persons mind works, so I get it. Thanks again for making the video, sharing the idea, and tolerating rude comments of those who don't understand the passion of a poultry person! P.S. if you make a new video that actually gets into the planning, plans, measurements, angles, or what not of the coop, please share!

I'll make it myself. Just got instructions from woodprix website and I'm ready to do it :D

waiting to see the how to build it and we got nothing maybe atleast a video of the interior we got nothing just a convo about the ugliest Turkey breed!

Dear P. Allen I have turkeys and would like to make this hybrid oselated turkey how should I do this? Is it true I can cross a peacock with turkey hens? I'm very curious about this. Thought you could help me. I'm a chef and watch your shows all the time I like them all. Thank you P. Allen

Looks nice; any thoughts of sharing your plans for those of us who wish to build one for the homestead?

What is the reason why you paint your poultry houses black and not some other color? Is it simply for warmth in cool weather?

anything I tried to raise would freeze to death during the winter in my state if I tried to keep them in that! It stays below freezing for days at a time my dad actually told me it once stayed below freezing from the end of October to the start of may here so none of your housing ideas would work where I'm from.

"How to build" video without even explaining what we are looking at. Total waste of time while you brag about your special turkey breeding.

can you please check out my channel I'm new to this and will be posting much more videos it'll mean a lot to me thanks

blue slates....he said it like 5 times throughout the video...

blue slates arent rare and they cant go extinct because theyw ere created from crossing differnt turkeys together

What Kim of turkeys are these

This is all very well.. It is all very slick ... Mr p Allen is all ver nice.. BUT you give absolutely no details. The title is "how to build...". It looks like an amazing turkey house and I am sure P Allen has a lot of reason if or the design. But he says virtually nothing about it. I rekon we save the superficial look at thing for the Discovery Channel and Nat Geo. Here on YouTube get into details - we are not here for just light entertainment.

I would be interested in plans for this turkey house. How many turkeys would fit in it? How does it protect from predators?

Can you sell me the plans? Thanks

get some peafowl if dont already have some!!

i have a pure slate tom turkey, his name is Husk.

Interesting design. Great way to keep the droppings from piling up inside plus the benefits of being outdoors with air and sunshine. Being penned up and housed is harder on turkeys than anything. Super design. I'm impressed.
