It is getting crazy here too!!! Fledging daily now!!!
Are those gourds Bo9s or Bo11s???
Also, where did you get the round vents for your T14??? I was thinking I could use them in the door stoppers on my modified MSS12 & 24 to 12 Trio Castle. With the temps in the 90s...I need to add more venting to houses & gourds! I have PVC elbows in all gourds & have even drilled the vent holes in all my Troyers.
Great pictures & site! Thanks for sharing!
Take Care!!

Those are Bo 9's. The little round vents are from the big box stores, online, or most local sheetmetal shops have them. Enjoy your babies. :grin:
