So I have a 5 sq ft freezer chest that no longer works. I don't want to throw it out. I thought about making an incubator out of it but I already have a gqf cabinet and a hovabator genesis. Maybe just store feed in it?
Give me some ideas on what else I could use it for.

My son (14 yrs old) was all set up to start with his LF black Cochin breeding program. But tragedy struck and his hen died. He's devastated. She was beautiful.
He shows 4H and YEPA. Had a neck of a time finding a nice quality hen.

Hi everyone! I haven't posted in a while because I've been busy building pens, brooders and acquiring araucanas. I've recently purchased 22 adult araucanas and hatched out about 40 araucana chicks. I absolutely love these birds!
I have the book 'rings on their ears' and it has a lot of great...
Hi everyone! I've been hatching eggs via incubator for about 6 or 7 months now with a fair amount of success but I've recently tried to let my broody chickens do the work. First broody hatch was with an Ayam Cemani mix. She did awesome! She had a 100% hatch rate and even adopted a few more...
