Attimus, get the gator going and I'll get you some of the seramas if you want. They are sweet and very smart! I let them out and point to where I want them to fly . They always follow my command. It's neat not like the other bantams. Alough my Mille flier is my baby ! She's a spoiled snob ! It my fault lol. She won't eat treats off the floor only out of my hands and she's always screaming at me! What breed bantams do you have?

Just got some components for the coolerbator this morning. Still missing a few key elements are still missing. I'll probably have to got to the city for the rest.

. This cockeral is a bit large but the hen stayed pretty small.

Here's what we got done on the fence yesterday.

Friend at a gas station in town was getting rid of some old planters and put these aside for me.

Off to work on stuff.

I may be joining you in the fun of making a coolerbator. So I can hatch my quail eggs now and then chicken eggs for the EHAL. Gonna write my list.

That's great news, I think all I'm missing for the bator is cooler thermo hydro and temp control. Might make the 80 mile round trip for em today. Lol.

Got the ground level lumber cut and in place, after I mount the tops I'll still need 7 more 8' 2x4s and the 2 16' ones for the long stretch. Then it's all about the wire and making a good gate. Then I'll work on burying chicken wire along the outer perimeter.
Finally all coming together, definitely keeping that long term goal in mind, lol only started working on the pond over a year ago. :)
Time to meet the day.

City was a bust. Got a couple thermo/hydros but couldn't find a good cooler. Also had to order the stc-1000 online, should be here in the next two days. Thinking I'm gonna have to build an insulated box as apposed to the coolerbator, still got a pretty good idea in my head and can always use the coolerbator as a basic template.
So much of the hurry up and wait.

I had to order my thermostat online. And just went to a computer repair store and asked for a fan, brand new inbox 11$. problem with old computers is that the fans are old too. And well worn and most people don't think to take their computer apart now and again to clean the inside out. Great looking do far. I'm opting to build my own frame, can't find something the size I want for the right price. Thermostat I got is stc-1000 16$ from amazon
