    New nesting boxes!

    New nesting boxes!

    Yeah, they're solid. The two screws hold it TIGHT. They kind of flatten what is being tightened. They're not rolling/moving...

    New nesting boxes!

    Might be a bit overkill for 6 hens, but I'm sure they'll work. Had the buckets. Needed a simple nesting solution. Already had the shelf. I'm thinking it'll do the trick...

    Long Overdue Coop Upgrades!

    Been a very long time since I've posted. Thought I would share my "new" feeder. I bought a bunch of 5 gallon buckets. I had a old plastic tub laying around in shed. Pretty self explanatory. It fit perfectly into an old shelf in coop. It appears to be hen-approved!

    We have power!

    So I finished running electric to my coop. It's got a single bulb, and a double outlet. I'm not going to use it much, so I figured this would be enough. The chickens don't seem to mind...

    Homemade Feeder

    Really, I was looking for something convenient that I wouldn't have to go into coop. But a 5 gallon bucket would keep them fed for a while, so really, should suffice.

    Homemade Feeder

    Definitely issues I have been thinking of (mostly due to recent weather). Rodents I am not too terribly worried about as they can't "get to" it...unless they chew through wood of course. I have a 5gallon feeder inside too. I may just fill that up and keep that going to be honest. If I can't...

    Homemade Feeder

    Built this guy today from some cedar boards and 2x6. It turned out great. It can hold something like 50-75lbs. Feels good to be able to feed them without opening door.

    My new tiller!

    Virgin ground is rough! I won't be doing it this year (needs to much it turns out). Next year, I'll be using a plow or cultivator first...

    My new tiller!

    So I got my new tiller fixed (welded new brackets). I had to do a lot of fine tuning / adjustments to get it to work. It's a 38" Gravely, modified to work with me BX1860. Great part is that it's offset. I'm planning to till up some soil for corn, beans (outside fence), and veggies and fruit...

    Today's the day...chicken door open!

    At At the end of the day, I have to protect my animals, be they dogs, chickens, or whatever. Traps help because they are there when I am not. Guns help to make it quick and painless.

    insulation

    On another site, when discussing building a deer blind, the advice was simple, "the more you add, the more to manage." While insulating would obviously have benefits, it'll be one more thing to maintain. How will the weather affect it? Will chickens or other animals have access to it? Will...

    Buying my Tiller Today!

    I have been scouring Craigslist for the "right" tiller for a while. I have a 18hp Diesel, and a rather sloped yard. A 4ft tiller works, but it really does stress the tiller at 4ft. So, I have been looking at 42", and smaller tillers. I found the one that will be perfect! It is a older model...
