That is (to use a Maine expression) wicked cool! Nice job Laree (and I suspect Mr Laree).

Hope you get lots of enjoyment out of that, Mahonri!

Laree, you should submit that as a project for the boards with instructions.

..Yes, Mr. Laree doesn't let me play with the power tools. Nevermind the welders.

I got to do all the materials procurement (almost all recycled or scraps), all the design, mods, wire cutting, end-of-roll hardware cloth bending, trouble-shooting, etc.

Mr. Laree is creative, and can do a million things, but sometimes cannot think outside of the building box. He stores his tools by what they are for, rather than the type of tool/work they do.

Rather than putting all the wrenches/wire cutters, hammers, etc. in their own drawers, he has them all by their specialty. How to explain.....If he were a book store: rather than putting all the reference in one area, the romance novels in another, the horror books in a third, he has the books in order by the author's middle name. Detail-oriented. It makes it hard for him to think outside the box, sometimes---OR it could be an excuse to buy more specialty toys. You decide.

Along the same lines, he never "browses" Home Depot. He is in there a million times a day for work, but he had NEVER noticed the "scrap wood" bin. The kids and I kept coming home with pre-cut wood for random projects, and he thought we were stealing from construction sites.

Well my last hatch I either have some late hatchers or quiters.

I had to help a FBCM out, but I waited too long and it didn't make it. I managed to get 3 chicks though, so I have an Olive Egger, a blue Marans and a Splash Marans. All three are good at pecking, but I keep having to take them to the water. You'd think they were turkeys or something.

My next hatch is the 19th. Lots of eggs in the ole Sportsman.

My last hatch for the summer is pipping now! Hopefully a big batch of Iowa Blues

 

[superchemicalgirl]

I've got 5 broodies now... and I'm still holding strong, they get nothing more than golf balls. The brahma isn't even laying on anything. And I've got an easter egger that's very protective of her golf balls, she's normally one of my friendliest.

Hormones are powerful things!

OK, I wasn't counting the broodies I guess

I have 21 eggs under 3 hens

. I just feel so bad not giving them anything! So far there are 14 IaBs hatched and the rest are pipped
