➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

Nutty look for trashed basketball goals.

The backboards are fabulous rain blocks.

I talked it over w my dh he is interested. Thought we could make the scraper part of the belt housing to be wider than the belt to keep from a buildup along the edges. Then the scrapper could be scraped off afterward and it could be all clean. Also tho takes up space in its depth. DH was worried about where we would get it but i told him i bet the fabric stores carry something usable.



:hugs glad you found the issue, bleach will kill it. The gnats are back here :mad:
If you have a farm co-op near you, they will likely have something used you could buy and repurpose. I, unfortunately, don't have any good co-ops nearby. A fabric store isn't a bad idea either. I was thinking the rollers could be made out of PVC pipe and a tensioner could be added using springs or bolts that could be adjusted. A removable handle would be ideal if you are going for a hand cranked system. That way it's not always sticking out waiting for somebody to bump into it. I've also seen videos of automated systems that use a motor on a timer.
 
They are doing it again. 3 weeks old and I've got a quail chick that can't stand. It just rained, so I will look closely for buffalo gnats. Haven't noticed them. Have noticed the mosquitoes. We got a direct hit from the aerial spraying last night. Maybe an overdose of mosquito fogger insecticide/biocide? The government is poisoning us.

Since I mixed the eggs and have jumbos with the luckys, no clue on heritage. Everyone has vitamins in the water, so I'm hoping that isn't it.

I guess it could be ebola. West Nile Virus? Bird Flu? Maybe leprosy? Probably bad juju.
Aerial spraying?? What kind of a dystopian hellscape do you live in that requires mosquito control on that scale?

One with a bunch of soccer Mom's that are worried about dying and protecting their only, precious child (did you know child birth is nasty and hurts!) from West Nile Virus and Avian Influenza. Add malaria, leukemia, and ebola on top of that. Every person with animal husbandry experience knows you don't just breed once, you breed a lot and let Darwin decide. Everyone should have spares. Cause, ya know, life happens until it doesn't.

News flash! You live in a swamp. There will be mosquitoes. Big bloodthirsty ones. With great, big fangs! If you don't like our swamp, return to your concrete jungle.

Apologies for all. Sore spot for me. Should I start on HOAs, the futility of a well manicured, mono cultural lawn, or the banning of livestock in neighborhoods? Yes, I might be a surly curmudgeon lacking in altruistic tendencies.

Lawns are the quintessential expression of excess money and stupid standards. They make deserts look diverse and productive. They don't even feed bees or butterflies—they're just one kind of grass mowed in ever-increasingly stupid patterns.
