I'm hunting down my detergent containers and I'm going to take pics as I go. I was just so tired of refilling daily, really haven't been able to go out and buy more PVC than I have and none that would work. I had some smaller diameters of it and was trying to come up with something that held a lot and saw the bottles sitting there and thought they'd hold enough for a couple of days. The waterer didn't work to well for me, but I think the feeder will go another coupleof days and I put it out there monday or tuesday. Wish I had thought of it before. Now if I can just get the tape in the waterer, I may be OK. Think I'll test it in the growout pen first on the bigger babies and see how it does. That way at least it's just sand and dirt that gets wet and not my babies.
The box I have doesn't have anything on it other than numbers, so now sure what it was for, but this place sells things like beds, couches, dressers, tables. Do care what it was for, it's working. The last one was about as much room as a refrigerator box. Well not a huge fridge, but pretty big and wasn't as high as it would have been if a frdge box. Still big though.
Today I'm going to be transfering quail into cage I got from Sowngrow and move babies out to the smaller cages to see if they do alright in those. Trying to make some space and I need things more under conrol before the weather changes. Modesto gets really hot but also gets pretty darn cold in the winter, so although I've had everyone put somewhere I'm going to be adding more plywood and closing in some of the open air coops.
OH I got a cool brooder also from sowngrow and I haven't had a chance to get it set up, maybe because I've been going through my house the past couple of weeks and after getting things done in here, I don't have the energy to get a whole lot done. I'll be moving the rabbits out furthur in the backyard, at least I think. I have little Lionheads, and the spot they've been in I want to build a kind of pergola and set the brooder box up in it. We'll see if that's a good idea.
Oh and the feathers are flying around here. My SPPRs don't look too bad. They have some feathers sticking out here and there, but I think they had a pillow fight in their coop. They're even stuck to the wood on nesting boxes and the walls. And yesterday enough had hit the waterer, so I had to scoop feathers out of the base. The Favs are moulting too.
I have 4 FBCMs that are fighting to be all broody and I don't have eggs to stick under them. They're plastered to the nest boxes. Same with most of the Game hens and my EE and Olive Egger. Really, they want to wait till a moult when eggs are slim and then go broody?? I don't get it.
