it appears that the discussion about men and what they wear is ........well......there is a certain amount of trust involved before you will ever find out what I wear, at the present "if there are no pictures"..............
Roosting bar for when you must have a house/bathtub chicken! 2 coat hangers with the hang part straightened and stuck into a bamboo stick; hockey tape wrapping to keep the bamboo from spinning around.
love this simple idea, but my goats would have a field dayHere's a bag collar feeder I built which I use for 25-50lb bags of feed. My idea was that the bag can do what it already does - hold feed, and the collar just directs it down the feed ramp. Currently feeding a bunch of cornish x off it.
and of the ramp:
I don't know if I can call this an actual "invention...." But for those of us whose chickens cannot forage nearly as much as we'd like and who have an abundance of grasshoppers, I created a jar top that allows for "stuffing" the critters in, but they cannot jump out. I cut a circle out of an old plastic file folder to fit the top of a canning jar and cut a cross-wise slit in it and screwed on the ring. It works really well. You can even put it down long enough to make a two-handed catch.
I have some ideas for an economical chick heater.
This is 12" wide heat tape. Its 23 watts per foot. its 3 bucks a foot and 4 bucks for the connector.
My thoughts are to attatch it to a stainless steel cookie sheet, add 1/2" reflective stryro insulation then another stainless cookie sheet on top.
Epoxy the cookie sheets together and you have a cleanable durable low power consumption chick heater
Hi Phil, sorry you are not feeling well.

GOOD MORNING!! TGIF!!I APOLOGIZE FOR HAVING TO CLOSE THE SHOP YESTERDAY!
GOOD MORNING, @Auroradream26
No worries, I got coffee for myself yesterday - but your coffee always tastes better!!!!
You made my day with this... I first heard of this at a German festival in New Braunfels soon after I moved here. Closest thing to Octoberfest I had ever seen outside of Munich. Then again, in Munich, they played Bon Jovi...
After being quite warm, it's going down to 41F tonight and 36F tomorrow. The Naked Neck hens who are molting (and therefore nearly, well, NAKED) are used to roosting on the perches in the enclosed run, not the sheltered coop. I may need to retrain them for their own good until their feathers come in. (They look like porcupines now. Hard molt.)
Agree!!!! (Sorry, Liz!!!!)
Big time winds today here as well. Glad I staked those newly planted apple trees well...
Been thinking about you!i am home from surgery and safe.love you all. i cant feel my arm
So cool! And I have an immersion/sous vide thingie, too, so I could try this!!!!!
I loved the "100 year old eggs" in the breakfast buffet when I went to Taiwan about 10 years ago. JUST this side of spoiled. You have to be adventurous sometimes...
(I had chicken uterus on a stick in the Taipei Night Market. Chewy. Nothing to write home about. Durian ice cream, on the other hand...)
I only trust men in boxers anymore
And I just don't trust men....
