ways to save on feed

how to make removable perches for easier cleaning... No one use sticks unless they are at least as wide as a 2x4 in cold climates always use a 2x4 on the side to prevent frostbit toes!

keeping them clean, no roost feeders or we use a cut out milk jug over ours!

white wash fun stuff for the run

hang your tools up!

There were only like 3-4 components then on a fridge
So much simpler, and more reliable
These new ones are expensive to fix.

Isn't everything?
Labor costs to repair often more than the purchase price of new

Sounds like the perfect "nobody wins except the manufacturer" scenario

Enough is enough I can't wait any longer. I'm a longoing time lurker / borderline stalker. Been watching for a few months since before chicken hawks previous set (what ever happened with the two last eggs). After reading all you have to say I can't wait to join in the hatching fun I've aquired a smaller display glass front mini fridge and plan to turn it into a incubator.I'll take pictures along the way as well my goal is to be ready to hatch along for easter. I started with chickens last sep/Oct when egg prices here rose to 5$ a doz. I've always wanted chickens anyway but this was a perfect excuse to get some. I started out knowing nothing buying 6 production reds which I thought were rir's from the swap meet. 1 died over night and 3 more over the course of a few months from my dog breaking into the run. Was left with 2 thanks God chicken math kicked in and got 8 chicks in Oct from a feed store. Built another bigger stronger coop and that's where I am at now. Sorry for the long introduction an any spelling or gramatical errors I'm on mobile mostly.

Done.
Time for meditation
