One hive blew into a pond! I have to go home now it looks to see what goes on there as well. That is assuming I do not get taken out by sheep / goat shed when I get into truck. Buildings rolling about in field.

Dang Centra straight line wind

 

[centrarchid]

Yes, and it is starting to weaken. Expensive. Flipped several small buildings outside my office. The anchors got ripped from ground.

 

[sdm111]

U have other pens that could flip over? Mine are like havoc said and I've never had problems and I've had some good wind come through.

 

[sdm111]

Oh almost forgot try not to get stung

Damage at home extremely localized and took about an hour to fix. Three cocks where out with two finding each other. Those fighting fought as long as they could see and are properly dinged up. Looks like wind may have pushed them apart so they could not find each other again until just as I arrived. Neither could see me walk up on them. The third looks like he took a ride in his pen as it rolled over fence and across yard. He came to great me when I pulled in and before I could see cockyard. Bird that got out this morning was put in this pen I take with me for field days in bed of truck. He got out again to give and take more licks with same cock he got into it with though pen. Fence still hot with one empty pen impaled on the grounding rod.

A couple hens also out and they came right up to me. Pens on hill in front of bamboo not a feather out of place on. All loose hay got blow out of barn as well as empty feed bags.


I am missing a 10' x 10' chain link dog pen. If you see one with deer netting attached to top, then that is mine.

And where are my **** buckets? They are blue and have my name on them.

What a nightmare.... Wind is my mortal enemy and it appears to be your enemy as well. Im sorry to hear about your roosters. Hope they are salvageable.

One day last spring the wind picked up bad. The weather was calling for 30 mph winds. At the last minute they upped it to 40-50 with gusts over 60. Thank god it was a Saturday and I was off. I had just unscrewed all my pens since I had just wormed all the birds. Well I left them unscrewed for a few days since the weather was suppose to be nice. I'm telling you I spent hours in the yard as pens flipped I chased down roosters. As soon I would get one screwed back down another one flipped. A 4x8 dome went flying half way across the yard. Said gusts reached to 68 mph. Bout knocked me off my feet.

You could get killed by a pen moving in wind like that. Impact might be what does it, or you get cut up. I saw one roll a few years back and it was at least 10 feet off ground at one point and going faster than I can run. A larger percentage of welds on 2 x 4 fencing broke.
