How are you today??
~~Lindz glad to hear you are doing better give those precious babies a great big hug for me.I DID AN OOPSIE LAST NIGHT!!!!!![]()
Yesterday, I felt AWFUL! I'm feeling a little bit better today, but I think this cold is settling into my chest. Abby is over the hump and feeling better. Clayton didn't throw up anymore yesterday either. I guess his double-ended explosion at 4AM got it out of his system! So, he is back at school today. Oh, and his foot is healing up nicely! Still a little sore, but looks great considering....
ANYWAY..... I went down to the coop to let everyone out yesterday morning, in my jammies with coveralls over them... (it was windy, and they were thin!) I didn't go back down there until Hubby got home, and I had to feed..... still in my jammies.... Then, right at dark, I went down to get the eggs, count the heads, and shut the door. Well, I went down, counted everyone, got the eggs, shut the door behind me and came back to the house..... I woke up at about 3:00 thinking "Did I close the pop-door? I don't remember closing the pop door! Surely, I closed it... didn't I?" Well, I decided that if I hadn't, it was already too late to worry about it then. I got up at 6:30 to get the kids ready for school, got them on the bus at 7:25, looked out, and still didn't see any chickens...so I'm thinking "Ok, I really must have shut the door." So, I went and laid back down for a little while. Kelsey got up at about 9, and when I walked into the living room and looked out the window, there was Kahoots (my BCM roo) out in the yard..... I guess I didn't shut the door after all....![]()
I did go check, and everyone is fine, and out scratching around! *shew!*
Here are my 2 bantam cochins... I'm still waiting on them to start laying, they were hatched in Sept.

That's the mark of a true farming woman, to me. If you see her out in her yard with gum boots and her nightgown, with a farm jacket over it, that's a woman who is totally FREE. That's me. My mother wouldn't get caught dead doing that and often teases me about taking a picture of me when I'm dressed like that..... I always figure if someone is looking, they get exactly what they deserve for bein' so nosy!![]()
I wouldn't daaare do that!!! hahahahaha I use to peek out the door then try to make it to the mailbox and back before a car would come by. Sometimes a car pops up out of nowhere and I have to hide behind the truck. LOL THEN they come out with this Google Earth and all that crap!!! Have y'all ever checked out that GPS thing where you can do the "walking" part? You can walk right by houses and see the house, people, whatever. It you meet a car on the road you can look right at the person. AND NOBODY WAS AROUND, DANG SATELLITES TOOK THE PICS! You can't even pee out on the back forty without the fear of somebody in China watching now!That's the mark of a true farming woman, to me.

Quote: I finally got a chance to look at those videos... The guy is an idiot.... I very rarely criticize DIY designs. And Yes While he did make it too complicated It works for him and I would never Slam someone for trying.... He even made his own Feeder cover out of sheet metal....
First things first... What Bee said about the drain is spot on. Though I have to admit having the Four inch drain did Suck the water out of the tub in one fell swoup. I like that Idea as well. The thing is he still has to rinse the thing out to get it clean.
So skip the work and use the original plumbing for the start.
But he had entirely too many ducks in that yard.... Everyone was dirty.... Including those poor trodden on chickens. Worse case I would give some elevated perches and feeding station for those chickens.... He only had four amongst those 50 ducks who were HALF grown still....
And ONE feeder for them all..... thats crazy.... Feeding frenzy is right.
Then there is that whole ritual of cleaning out the waterers....
1. Rinse off the outside with the hose
2. Scrub the outside with a scrubber
3. Rinse the outside again
4. Now open the waterers and show how dirty the inside gets.
5 Rinse off the tray for the waterers
Me IF i were going to use those kinds of waterers It would be
Starting with the three waterers on the grass.
Two steps each
1. Unscrew waterers let the old water flush out the ikky bottom.
2, Rinse and scrub everything.
The reason he is an idiot as well is hes talking about getting 1000 ducklings next.
FWIW the electric fence is on the outside of that pen Probably to keep dogs from messing with the poultry. I liked his charger it was on the outside near the gate and seemed to be pretty roebust.

Quote:Before my Out house blew over The wind had removed the door some years before. Its easier to use it when working in the yard.... Now its a simple affair.... hole dug in the ground Toilet seat on Plywood bench TP hung from some bailing twine..... And a VEw to die for.... I figure if some one came around and took a look they wouldnt look for long. Hee hee. Though my roommates dog would come and sit by the door doing guard duty for me. Sweet Sweet misunderstood dog....That's the mark of a true farming woman, to me.
