I do not live where I have my chickens yet. Moved them up to some property I built a shop on and will soon build a house upon a few miles from where I now live. While at the property they free range as I work there all weekend and go there every day after work.
Sometimes when I need to leave...
I trained my chickens to coop up at a moments notice but pitching in a hand full of dried mealworms into the coop. Chickens are very selfish, and don’t wanna be the last one in when it comes to eating those mealworms. Those worms are like chicken crack…. They love em’
I can call my chickens...
Good point. I have had issues year before last with hens getting gapemouth. When they get parasitic worms in their throat, causing breathing restrictions to the point they continuously have their beaks open trying to breathe.
I’ve put diatommaceous earth in the coop and used a paste wormer...
I think this picture is of the camera I bought for my remote hog trap with remote drop gate. It worked well. It alerts via cell phone, has infared lights, rotates like 240 degrees, up and down, and has a zoom lense that worked for me out to about 80 ft. Has 2 way communication if’n you want to...
Pull your belt off to tell if it’s an internal or external noise like water pump, tensioner pulley, alternator or the like.
I had a tensioner pulley sound like heck, thought it was the water pump.
With the belt off you can sometimes spin the various items run off the belt for resistance or noise.
Not sure on the 6.2 noises. My 7.3 diesel rattles so much it has no other noises to hear.. I have a 07 expedition with 5.4 that gave me 398k with no real issues until the timing chatter began. Quite rare.
My 2019 expedition with 3.5 started the dreaded cam phaser rattle on cold startup at 59,840...
My little coop was the product of what I refer to as ‘Corona Engineering’,,..I have a pull out the side poop pan covering the entire main roosting part, with roost bars and poop trays under each. Chickens poop all night long
For the cold nights and a little cozy chicky atmosphere I mounted a...
I built a tractor coop for 4 white leghorn hens. They’ll lay an egg a day each, pretty prolific layers. Leghorns are pretty spooky and ain’t much to eat when they quit laying. The roll around coop comes in handy for mobile type housing. Down to 2 hens now. Need to get a few more poults soon.
I found a good deal on a 40x60 commercial grade building a couple years ago from Metal Building Outlet. They are a basic store front for unsold or used metal buildings. Had a large selection of new kits that were ordered with down payments paid, but never final purchased by the person that...
Trying to get to hwy190 or to the interstate from 4H is an absolute tragedy already.
The subdivision slated near me is gonna dump out on Jack Allen rd (very narrow 2 lane country rd) and another entrance on hwy 444 in one of the worst curves there.. stoopid
I have property off hwy444 that was affected somewhat by the deer run fiasco. There's another subdivision slated ,311 acres I believe it the latest change. Used to be all Wyerhauser pine timberland, 200 ft away from my property.Initially this property was slated for 745ish DBHorton homes on 50ft...
Best of luck, shady politics embedded deeply in that land deal.
I grew up on 4H Club road when it was gravel from hwy 16 end to almost up to hwy 190.
My grandfather used to own the property north of Douglas Pires dairy farm. He donated property to LSU that became the old 4H Club with cabins...
