It was too wet to do much investigation but it has to be coming through underneath the nest boxes as there are no holes a fly could get through in the walls or roof, and no holes elsewhere in the floor. If the weather is ok I will detach the Roost to see if there are signs of entry under the nest boxes. I would be betting on a snake or rodent, although it should still be too cold for the snakes to be active.

No signs of feathers or dead chick, and none of the slightly older ones look hurt or upset, though all but 2 are now roosting at night.
I'm only loosing the 1 weeks olds

Enjoy your day everyone!  I have to get in gear for our family picnic!

meatballs encased in layered butter biscuits baked, then smothered in butter, garlic and parm cheese, dipping sauce! 
Chicken and mushroom skewers,
Dev eggs & hot dogs (of course)
Salted Pretzel Caramel Brownies
Strawberry pretzel salad
and we are going to make the kiddos "alch free" Seductive Swan drinks
(just a lemon sugared rim glass with mashed blackberries in bottom, crushed ice and lemon aid)

Will be lovely!!!

That Brinsea parts page link I gave you the other day offers just the turner clutch (likely suspect), just the motor end of the turner cradle, etc. my guess is clutch but you could readily diagnose it and order just what you need and still save a to of $ if it's out of warranty.

Oh wow! I just looked at mine. I would think that piece should be easy enough to rig something to work. Did you try to super-glue it? Then maybe add some extra bracing. I'm sure the 40 is heavy though, it seems like they would make that out of metal!

Since it dissapeared....first....beautiful birds! Have fun!


I need to get my son moving and working on a couple subjects. We are supposed to have some friends coming over for an early dinner this afternoon. Then we'll finish up with school tonight. We are headed in to week 2. He told me last night that so far he is really liking the changes and liking this year much better than last, so I think we are headed in the right directions with the changes we are making.

You might want to email your picture to Brinsea customer support and ask if they will send you a new arm. Worth a shot.
