Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

[perchie.girl]

Surrounded by all that salt water must make them numb to the stuff

More likely a way to preserve... I betcha most dont have refrigerators.

Grandmas family didnt have a refrigerator till they moved to California... During the fall they would butcher a pig and throw it in the salt box where it was covered with salt completely... They ate on that pig all winter.

we scored a 100' long roll of chainlink fence 6' high for 50 bucks today at the scrap yard

next year we plan to have 1/4th arce fenced off for about 50 buff Orpington cockerels

we are starting to get known among the local Asians for having fresh eggs & poultry

i'm thinking $15 per bird is a fair price as a whole birds is $10 in the store

and they are not all that tasty.

We had a big day today.

Mrs Oz took the car to get it's emission test and registration. She picked up plywood to replace the floor in the family's quarters paint electrical outlets for the eggs house rewire and the kids uniforms.

The TV store was "out of stocks" (sic) so Bernie's TV will have to wait till Monday.

We pulled out a pile of extension cord and put lights on Bernie's room and bathroom and have him four outlets of 220. I will hard wire a 110 in there tomorrow.

I also installed a circuit breaker over there so we can control the power without having to go to the garage.

Tomorrow we will put in 12 outlets for brooder lights and hardwire 110 on the

Building and then wire the lights for the new coops.

We can finally pick up the new papa goat Thursday

Oz, I have a spare 26" TV I'm looking to offload, you could pop by and pick it up.

 

[ozexpat]

I would but it has a European plug

I would but it has a European plug

I probably have a couple suitable cables somewhere... so no problem really.

 

[ozexpat]

I am trying to get rid of extension cords and adapters. The place was a fire trap.

 

[vehve]

Oh, it plugs directly to the back of the TV, many products sold here come with three different cables, so you won't need an adapter. And it takes 110-240V, so no transformer required. Really, it would be great for you.

I think a better way to decline would be to mention the logistical issues involved
