...pop holes for the chickens.

What’s a poop hole? I am new here, but I have seen people mention it several times.

a chicken size door is called a pop hole... because when you open it they pop out.

Poop hole is called the vent....where the poop and eggs come out of......sorry, @Nushatka couldn't resist a little humor. Welcome to BYC!

Yes, but usually called Pop Door.


Not much going on here, trying to get some lopping/pruning done before leaf out...very frustrating not to be able to get as much done as in my younger healthier years. Am forcing myself to do something every day even tho it'll never be enough<whine>.

Incubation is going OK, got some wonky air cells...but keeping a closer eye on those allowed me to see 'spider' veins and beating hearts, I usually don't candle until day 7.
Not great at candling photos, but this on day4 made me try:

good day,
I don't know where I am here with my ongoing saga..
tire went flat. bad air valve .. spent time on the net and figured out how to go at fixing it.
Put a vice grip on the valve stem and had to really torque on it. It came loose and i took it to the inplement place just down the road.
they matched it up with a package of 2.
came home put one on, filled the tire with air and fluid began coming out of the hole around the valve stem. I figured it was just water from between the tire and tube being squeezed out.. but when the tire went flat, I realized that I must have torqued the valve stem loose from the tube. Oh well, I have an appointment with Schyrl Tire to come and bring me a new tube. maybe as soon as tomorrow.
I did a lot of math and head scratching ,
figured out how I can make raised beds and plant my corn in 30" wide rows . and still use the tractor to cultivate the beds..
so far it is just theory, but I am hopeful..
I THINK I have every angle covered..
I might even plant a few tomatoes this year.
I didn't plant anything last year..

Knee swollen up, can barely bend it. Can hardly get a jacket on and off due to pinched nerve, and stomach hurts, plus sinuses still draining. I feel disabled. Misery!
