Now comes the bird pens/cages... and there are a lot of pictures, I think I missed a couple pens.

Yep, some are pretty rough looking but, I need to make do with what I can this time of year....

Shaw....... I have a photo bomb coming, I need to assure you I do not live in the city as a certain MooseJawian implied.... First you will get pictures of the unloaded and assembled "Tator Digger ".

Yep. That looks pretty hillbilly style right there. Looks like lots of fun with birds! I have to say even if I lived out in the boonies my place would look pristine. . . I'm pretty particular about my landscaping. It's my hobby and what I like to do. I am a home body so I enjoy making my own little back yard paradise lol

 

[shawluvsbirds]

Blah ha ha ha I love the camper shell! The only thing missing is the dux and dux pond!

And finally the proof I am all country and in the sticks....

This is our deck as you can see and the chicken coop and run is right there so I can watch the birds while I sip a soda...(Pop, for all real people Soda for the southerners)

Next


across my garden that is just sunflowers, Beans and onions this year, with 3 cukes.

This is from my new orchard looking towards the house on the other side the shed/shop.

This is turned looking south over my new orchard. Which will produce at most 5 apples this year, the trees are pretty bare...darn deer need to die..

This is a small field I have maybe 3-4 acres of clover and cover crops. I just planted it this spring.

This is the back side of my pole barn which has all the cages in it. Along with junk I am trying to clean out.

This is to the west of the orchard I have some pines planted, enough to give me Xmas trees for the rest of my life if the gophers stop eating the roots, This drops off sharply into a tamarack swamp.

Looking towards the south from NW corner of the shop..

This is proof I live on a chicken ranch, who else would have one of these..it is also bad news for the lame toad that I have it out of the shed.

And this is how I stay my sweet humble self. I look at these big buildings I have and they are dwarfed by one of God's trees... Puts me in my place.

Again shows the scale of my work versus God's. I lose.

And one final thing to prove I live on a farm...BANTI can you match this??

Now a question to see how many of you are real farm people... How many bushel of corn does this "gravity box" hold.....Think hard and do not jump on your first thought...LOOK IT OVER WELL Citidiots!!!

Your place is awesome! I love it. My husband is gonna answer your trivia question in a minute he is using the phone a friend card lmao! He don't wanna be wrong. You got him all riled up !

 

[duluthralphie]

Hey, no phoning a friend!! That's cheating..

Did he like the tator digger? I think it is cool, I found IH markings on it so now I have to see if I can find a picture to paint it back to original colors...

I hate that I had to use a couple new bolts, I will be going to auctions to find the right ones. I could not find any in my junk.

 

[shawluvsbirds]

J (hubby) says. . a Minnesota 250 holds 250 bushel but with the added skirts it probably holds another 30 bushel . . . ?

 

[shawluvsbirds]

That's what he said to start with but he wanted to ask his buddy to see if he was right first lol and we LOVE LOVE LOVE the tater digger, he knows a guy that has I h bolts.
