Vickichicki where on the east side are you? I am on the east side in downtown indy. I am not that far from nap town chickens. By the way is anyone going to the Indiana flower and patio show at the state fair grounds tomorrow? Nap town chickens will be there at the Urban Homestead exhibit in the Exposition Hall all week with chickens.

So for anyone who might be interested.

I have some left over wood scraps that will be going into the dumpster soon if no one wants it. I did list the stuff on Craigslist and people have been digging through it so most of the full sized stuff has gone. However there are several pieces of exterior paneling that are about 2' wide by various sizes. Also various OSB pieces, 4'x 16-18 etc A few skids. There are some shorter pieces of 2x6. Some left over open dimensional shingles too.

Worked on my incubator more. I hooked up the motor and linkage.This is just put together till i get all the bugs worked out still have to stain the wood block inside as well.

Nice work Cluck... Good innovative ideas with the window motor.

Be knocking out more eggs before you know it!

Thanks. I just need to figure out a way to slow the motor down some and hook it up on a timer.

 

[vickichicki]

Haha, I was thinking about what i could build with whats left, and with all the ideas on here, surely I could make a brooder or two

Could you hook the arm of the motor to a larger wheel/cog system? I see that there is not much room in there for one. Just using wheel size to slow it down?

My husband and I did a floating halloween prop, it ran too fast, so we changed out the pully wheels to bike wheels and that slowed it to a speed that worked better. Although judging by your creative ideas, I am sure that one has already been thought of... Just throwing it out there.

Brown County here. I've got about 40 chickens, mostly buff brahmas, golden campines, some wyandottes and crosses of the fore mentioned. Also about 40+ bobwhites at the moment. I also keep bees.
