You had a pic of him on your screen? That is so sweet.

By his "Girlfriend" I was refering to the young lady who joined us at the coop party.
I forgot her and her Dad's names(I'm SO bad with names). They got along well.
When I wrote "He needs a little lovin. (Hey, she's a sweet kid. Don't get mad at
me)" it sounded like I was trying to hook them up.

Sorry to miss all the fun on this thread earlier but all that feed had to be removed
from my van and stacked. While we were at it we made a new feed area, worked
on moving more of the mulch pile out of the driveway, and actually got to sleep
early.

Drum started school today (he's a third grader

) so we are trying to get him to
bed by 9. It's a challenge, not for him to go to bed but to get everything done
by 8:30.

And DRUM DID NOT GET THE HAIRY GENE!!! We took him to Switzerland and had it
removed before he was born.

Oh, on the tractors.

I doubt a tractor would fit in the hot rod Tulani drives. That depends on the material
of course.

We need a couple PVC fittings that are not available at Home Depot or even a
plumbing supply house. I'll order some up but won't have them for this weekend.
With those fittings a tractor can be broken down into a very small area like a
back seat.

The other consideration is what kind of material to use on the outside of it. I have
two rolls of the green metal fencing that would keep out racoons and then a tarp
can be used as a cover.

We can always try a quick one using 2x4's as the base. I could carry it to MNC's
house in my pickup on our way home or just get the parts and build it at her
house. My pickup is alway at our disposal.

We made one out of 2x4's, well it's not really a tractor, PC you saw it. But I think one like that would be too heavy to carry, it would probably be easier just to make it there.

We have a small one made out of pine and hardware cloth. It's light but still too big
to carry yet not big enough for more than 6 birds. Our Range Broilers are in there now
and it's packed. I gotta do something about it quick.

You could make one like we have, it's 8'x8' and they have plenty of room, and it's easy to throw together.
