Ya mean when ya take something apart all the pieces are supposed to fit back together?

Imagine that!

checked out my scrap pile in my barn. Lots of fun parts and pieces out there. Coolerbator would be easy but this is stuff I don't have to pay for to make more incubators.
The oven

An electric grill

And 3 furnaces

We bought this place from a hoarder so I have no idea if anything works, but I would love some ideas on how to reuse parts or all of these things before we scrap them this summer. I am eager to learn.

Imagine that!

I'd rather not........it's more fun that way.

The Ancona has begun to crow.

Heard the weirdest strangled sound today, like a cockerel learning to crow for the first time. I have a grand total of ZERO roos and when i looked out to check on the girls I saw Duchess sitting on top of the coop, making that god awful noise all puffed up and proud in the storm.

Chickens are odd birds.

So set it up where you want it & build a house around it...end of problem  

You screwed up big-time when you posted that pic in this house; everyone one here will try their darnedest to talk you into grabbing it up

You have some tongue problem? .

And I honestly the only one that is intrigued by that question?

@ChickenCanoe , what do you do with your hens once they stop laying?

-Kathy

Years ago when we kept 100 leghorns for egg sales, we just butchered them all at once when replacements were onsite.
I try to sell culls before they're a year or two so they can still be productive for recipients.
Other than that, I've never had a hen that lived long enough (predation) to consider it an issue. I lost a hen to cancer, one to heat, another to fatty liver and that's it other than predators after thousands.
I have a 7 year old ameraucana still laying that survived 3 predator attacks.
When they're truly spent, I'll eat them.

There you go.

Lost the quote, but the laying banty hen is not the one with scaly leg mites. I have 3, only 1 has the mites..... Tried soaking her feet, didn't work and I ran outa time and just put her outside because having 4 chickens in the cellar was WAY too smelly and it is too cold to soak them outside.
