I haz a question. I picked up my nest boxes yesterday. They are cumberland 12 hole metal nesting boxes that hare connected back to back and the eggs roll out into the middle for collection. I only need six of them so I am cutting it in half and selling the other half. They are used, so I was wondering, what should i use to clean them? Bleach water solution? Also what size nesting box should I use for these breeds: Brahmas, turkens, dominiques, black star, black minorca, egyptian fayoumis, leghorn, rhode island red, wyandotte, araucana, americana, orpingtons, silkies, and faverolles? I know that I will probably have to have another nest box on the ground for the silkies, or put the nesting boxes closer to the ground, but how big should the nest boxes be for the rest? I might need to turn two boxes into one or something perhaps?
We have aerobic septic in our subdivision. Because we are not out in the county we have pretty strict rules. You are supposed to be inspected regularly and maintain the system with a septic contractor. The grey water lines have to be 25' off the property lines. Most folks use them on lawn areas that aren't actively used. We treat the greywater tank with chlorine tablets. If you don't it is smelly and not nice to be around. From a health perspective - NO you would not want it spraying an edible area.
What? The half day where it went from 40 to 70 wasnt enough Sprgin weather? In typical Houston fashion it had shifted right into mid 80's and sticky buggy.
I do. I got two from Ideal and I'm only keeping one. Is this the kind you are wanting?
