[OzawkieBantams]

Yep Take that solar light off the top of the roll bar and give it some head lights . KC runner lights are SOOOOO 90's

BASICALLY SINCE THEY ARENT MY BIRDS I DONT EVEN HAVE A DOG IN THE FIGHT... I JUST KNOW WHAT WOULD AND HAS HAPPENED WITH ME WHEN I TRIED STUFF LIKE THIS BEFORE

if I put mud cleats on it, then I gotta put a winch and arc welder in it don't I? I could get em, but do I have to get the full size spare?

working on a pvc feeder to access from the outside- which will look like smoke stacks, and pvc cement is drying on the auto waterer.

hmmm, what next? to impress the quail gods? my simple chicken kingdom to impress the quail gods,

maybe hurricane shutters?.
I could try to rewire the solar light for an electric barrier deterent?,
I could chain the pitbulls to it at night?,
what about onstar? if it had onstar would the quail gods smile upon it?
an easy button?
24/7 technical support desk in India?
directv with nfl package?

I know ya'll have suggestions?

 

[JJMR794]

YA KNOW I KINDA LIKE THE PIT BULLS AND WINCH IDEA...

THEY WOULD COMPLIMENT THE ROLL BAR AND MUD CLEATS.... YOU COULD EVEN PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS AND PUT A DOG BOX ON THE BACK...

YOU COULD SAY YOU'RE THE ONLY GUY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH HOG HUNTER QUAIL

I agree, not trying to ruffle any particular quail feathers, I am not making any broad, sweeping quailizations, not trying to make a point or a pun.

I just like tractors and it fits "my" conditions- #1- low risk of larger predators. #2 mobile, #3 cool to look at.

all things must be considered, all risks weighed and it is best to err on the side of caution when your livelihood and animals lives are at stake, or when giving advice.

my grandfather was a very successful (dairy) farmer and FFA pioneer, and he probably would tell me "choose the proven way as your base for 99% of your decision making and only risk what you are willing to lose."

peace.

Its one of the coolest quail pens around. My yard is too "wild" for it to be safe, but I can see it working in more civilized areas. Is the top "cab" area a separate pen or just another level? Bill

thanks! right now it is a separate pen, with its own wire floor, they are separated by about an inch and I can slide a nice piece of cardboard in there to catch any droppings. - any suggestions on something cleanable? old window screen?

planning to put up some guides on the side so it wont be knocked off by anything.

simple, evolving plan- The top pen would be for breeder trio or quad? and the bottom for a grow out?

my brother in law is coming down this coming weekend for 7 days, its gonna be wild turkey 101, beer, bbq and "we could do this to it"... and lots of this song- just so ya'll know, Im a flippin new yorker- but "upstate"

I chew beechnut, can skin a buck and run a trout line

cb with antennae
weather radio
helipad for trauma airlifts


but I am saving the zinger...
