Granny's gone and done it again

My GM used to use a forked stick to hold her clothes line up. I just dont think solor will work out for you. I have tried a few times. I dont have a clue how you would put one on a timer. I dont think you can w/o electric. Anything battery would eat you up. Thinking tap lights. But again you would need to leave it on 24/7 or turn it on each night and off in the am. Or if you get up w/ the chickens you could turn it on when you get up and off when you get home.
I never have time in the morning. That’s why I want a timer lol I have tap lights in the silkie coop. I forgot to turn the one off overnight once and it was dead when I needed it.
I want to set it and forget it.

you can stamp them in with your foot and then string the wire thru them.
I’ve never seen those. I’ve seen some with hooks but not like this.

Yes, another way they torture us.
The techs that run the machines are not supposed to give out any info, the dr is supposed to review and interpret the results, but the techs usually know. Hard to wheedle info from them, though.


ew, are you a barfer?


Sounds like you need to move your coop then! :D
Oh this one can’t be moved easy. It’s staying. My little ones aren’t so bad to move.

If you decide to bury it put it in some conduit. Speaking from experience, The ground freezes and the cord heaves up/ a mouse takes a nibble or elements crack it and you get a good buzz .
We are still finding chunks of wire from the invisible fence that we tried 20 years ago. Mom ran it over.

Ground is a swamp back there right now. Creek is high because of the rain and clay sucks. Lost my boot the other day. Wet muddy sock :rant
 
are they saying this timer will work w/ solar ? Thats a good price on the light. Mine was $25. lasted a month. different brand.
I didn't read it very carefully. I thought it would have a solar switch or something, like the path lighting people use... sun goes down and the path lights come on and run until they go out, I guess. Then recharge during the day. There's got to be something like that for chicken coops.

I was teasing! Don't really think you should move coops to the front yard just to string extension cords through the trees! :lol:
 
I stretch my electric after the last mowing of the yr and take it up before the first in the spring. I dont have tons showing though. I have it buried in the front to the pond. BZZTTT
I have 3 cords strung up to the bantam coop... no mowing to worry about as it is mostly under the trees, and we only have to mow a half dozen times a year at most.
