Quote: That takes the cake. After hearing that I feel fortunate about what happened to me!

Quote: LOL! Love it. You are right about them needing to know something about flying the aircraft and not just vectoring it. We have a couple here in DFW that get worked up easy. They will try to turn you into an aircraft that is on the TCAS display, and you know it will set off a...

Glad to hear I'm not the only one it's happened to. My boys had some "splainin" to do!

I'm thinking about designing a gravity feeder that will feed inside AND outside the coop. Anyone done this or have ideas on what might work and what wouldn't? My coop floor is probably 10"-12" above ground level, so it would take two different chutes separated by a baffle in between for the...

Quote: Agreed. I'm beginning to think it should be called the "poop door".

Quote: Like I do everything else, Head First! I think about the consequences later. Luckily no consequences this time ie., POO. My wife died laughing when I told her. It's the big joke around here today.

The door to my coop has a self-latching door on it. To keep from getting locked in, I drilled a hole through the door frame and ran a nylon string through it and attached the string to the latch outside. On the inside, I tied a washer to the string to keep the string from getting pulled thru...

For the last week or so, when I go into the coop to feed the chicks (4 weeks) there is always some food left in their feeder. However, when I pick up the feeder to put more in, they go nuts. They even fly up and land on the feeder while I'm trying to put food in. Once it hits the floor, they...

So yesterday I go into the coop and kneel down to see how everybody is doing. My favorite, Hen-rietta hops right up on my hand like always and settles in. But then, several others began to follow suit. Soon I had 3 on each arm, 2 on 1 leg and 1 walking back and forth behind my neck from...

"The ones that I find strange are the ones who had very little exposure to aviation before they became military pilots. Somehow they fell in love with the idea of being a military pilot, a Tom Cruise, Top Gun kind of guy, but aren't really aviation enthusiasts otherwise." Those guys aren't any...

Quote: I must say I wouldn't want to fly anything I built myself. I'll leave that to the experts. I admire those who do though.

Quote: Well at least he built the coop. I'm trying to get my wife more "into" the chickens, but she hates the idea of getting attached to them and then having to cull them (we have a lot of roosters). Ask him if it's true what they say about the Citation X- It's the fastest business jet...

Whoooooa! Very nice Mac. That will be beautiful and fun. Get busy building it and show pics as you go.

Quote: We have taken pics all day- I'll have them up asap. New question- what kind of watering system do you folks use for baby chicks. I just bought the kind on the shelf, the silver kind with holes, and they are soaking the litter. Is this just something I must learn to live with? We...

Quote: I love flying smaller aircraft. I spent my whole career trying to get into jets, but found small airplanes to be the most fun. It's real flying.

Quote: This looks fun: http://www.cloudhopper.org/index/PIC02004.jpg Or scary... I'm just sayin'.

Quote: Cool Job! I used to fly with a guy that was a C-130 pilot. I fly over Abilene all the time going in and out of Fort Worth.

Quote: I am familiar with White Plains, and Conklin & Decker do the aircraft performance/operating expense comparisons for prospective buyers I think.

Just wondering how many other pilots out there have chickens. I'm a corporate pilot, at least for now until the economy completely tanks. Airplanes and pilots are always the first to go. Anyway, what kind of flying do you do and what do you fly?

Fantastic idea and prompts me to pursue something similar in my area.
