How do you fill them though? don't the hoses freeze up? do you carry them indoors to fill?

 

[RURU]

You fill buckets of water and take it to fill you buckets for the birds. Most people take their hoses off the faucet during the winter so they do not freeze up at night. Then take them out and attach to the faucet when done take off the faucet empty and bring it in so the hose stays clear. A lot of work in the winter.

I have a tap you plug in in the winter to keep from freezing.

Lucky me. I would not want to carry water down to that barn every morning and night!!

As soon as RURU has her new hoses and gives review postive or neg. hopefully positive I will be ordering. I watched the video they look awesome.

Guys.. I've just been offered the full brother of grand champion in show. He's a grey, and I could use him against my buffs to make boys split for buff while improving the size.

Thoughts? Should I have a backup male? He's $150 - which I think is amazing. He's also one of the best ganders Jamie Carson has ever sold. He has two very similar and only keeps an extra gander every year.


Here's his full brother that won grand champion of show last fall.

Never, I repeat NEVER only have one gander, rooster, drake. Too risky that a predator strikes, or poor fertility. That is an AMAZING deal and you need to add him.

I agree with that Celtic. We just never had an extra, as buff are so hard to come by. Jamie is a good friend, and he always has something we could buy for backup, but to come by a really good one, is very rare. I will get him.

of course you knew I would say get him. Now you can run pairs, and have unrelated off spring from them too! Will be a fun spring for you for sure.

I sent your message to the fiance. Thanks for backing me up

I bet he'll be better at mating as well, since he's 2. Maybe he can show Winston how it's done, as Winston had Tilly squatted and kept nibbling on her wings, and totally botched the mate.
