Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

But nope, it’s 5. Now it could definitely be worse but *sigh*

20 degrees is the average Wisconsin winter temp. Cold enough to keep the snow on the ground and lakes frozen and everything looks pretty. Warm enough that I can keep the coop above freezing.
I wish it was 20 degrees all winter long.

I'd be interested in knowing what your coop looks like, the size and everything because at 20° my Coop's maybe 5° warmer than that. But it's 8 by 10 insulated the top half OSB the bottom and probably 6 inches or more of shavings on the floor not complaining, I'm just saying.

There is a heater in there.

Atleast today its been warmer. My girls are still in the coop, i have to go finish breaking up the ice in order to shut the run door. Then they will be happy to go outside

what kind of plucker are you going to build ?
I built five whiz bangs. sold all of them.
I made all sorts of improvements on the original plans.
pluckers are not cheap. but they are worth having.

Hi! So, my husband is interested in building a whiz bang. Or-- do you have any for sale ? Would love to get in touch with y'all.

The Packers: so close, and so sad. But a great season for the new guys!
Today, the Lions, guess I'll be rooting for them...

I started out with the whizbang book. then I improved on each plucker as I built them. by the fifth one, I had nineteen improvements on the original model. the first one was belt drive. the last four were chain and sprocket drive.
I would be happy to help you build one.
I do not have any left. we quit raising chickens so I sold the last one..
if you buy the kit, it gets a little pricey..
contact me first..

I still have my drum plucker that I had for sale on graigs list.
It works very well. you just have to hold onto the chicken. not a big deal. we did hundreds of chickens with it..

It sure is nice to get out on the porch
