Day 13 Turned warm
Day 15 Turned mild
Day 17 (today) Still 'mild' so added a dozen handfulls of chook poo and a few light water sprays through the layering while I turned it in the morning. By evening it was warming up again nicely - though I don't expect it to reach 'hot' as I'm hoping the straw will break down before then (still clearly identifiable, I think it was more a case of moisture than of nitrogen, though both relevant). Recently learned that fresh chook poo is less nitrogenous than dried material. Interesting.
I'll let the heap go through at least one, if not two more turnings before deciding whether I get it out before xmas or not. Not ready at the moment.
