Love it we will give it a try!

If I’m remembering correctly it was 11 injured and 8 or 9 survived. They are fully grown and healthy now. Watermelon is a good way for the chicken to get hydration especially in this heat. I would still keep regular food and water available in case she does start eating again. Not sure if you’ve tried sprinkling some crushed aspirin in some water or on the watermelon you’re giving her but often times animals in general will not eat while they are in pain. So the aspirin will knock down the pain enough that they feel like eating. Hope this helps!

You’re not wrong. But it’s at least another way to get it on if an alternative way doesn’t work.😅

Yes they grow back and will eventually have to do it again. I haven’t had to do it any more frequently than maybe once a year though. Different roosters could be different though.🤷‍♂️

Need to start liftin more.💪🥲

We’ve tried nipples. No matter what brand they always seem to leak, break, or not work all together. Not sure why but maybe it’s because we have 150 hens they just don’t hold up to the amount of use.🤷‍♂️

Thanks for watching! And just an update we are still using this still a year later and it’s still going strong.

Not sure what BTDT means.

I’m not sure what temps are like where you live but typically as long as we collect everyday we don’t have any issues with frozen eggs in the winter until it gets down to the teens. Once it’s below 20 we do have to collect more than once a day to prevent frozen eggs.

They are for sure tubeless or seating the tire to the rim wouldn’t be a problem.

Rubber feed pan. But you could also use any old plastic pan like a plastic oil pan.

The front wheels on a lot of zero turns are slicks.

Yeah people tend to make assumptions without actually trying it and seeing how quick and painless it is for the rooster. But have no problem taking a chance splintering or snipping a spur back too far and actually doing some damage.

It helped us to elevate it a little more once they started getting big enough to handle hopping up on it instead of it being level with the rest of their bedding.

It’s still worked great for us so far! Thanks for watching!

Hope it goes smooth for you! Sometimes even with the strap it can be a pain in the butt. Thanks for watching!

We have 160 birds and have it ran to a water collection tank. Stays filled up and all the birds have water! So it should be more than enough for 50. Thanks for watching!

I’ll take it.😎😂

Thanks for watching!

Glad we could help!

Never had issue with predators in the greenhouse coop. It’s surrounded by electric poultry netting which helps with predators but we also have dogs that do a pretty good job at keeping things away.

😂😂😂

Appreciate that, they are still working great today. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching!

Happy to help!

It’s not at all actually. If it were then the rooster would be losing its mind from the pain and he’s obviously fairly relaxed minus not liking being held. I’m not pulling anything out of its leg, I am cracking the spur near the base and it takes very little effort to do. No contact with any nerves is occurring. And his true spur is still fully in tact. I am not cruel to any of my animals and if this was truly harmful I wouldn’t do it or advise it to others.

@@easyworkacres I used to think the same thing until multiple vets told me otherwise it doesn't seem like it's painful because chickens don't react the same to pain as humans it's not the kerotin that hurts it's the exposed quick it's left all the nerves exposed like a rug burn

@@kaydencekeckler7397 I have had several vets say it is just like ripping your own fingernail out. So I guess it all depends on who you talk to and their personal opinions.

​@@easyworkacres you are cruel, you just don't want to believe it. You put "being correct" ahead of your animals welfare.

Appreciate it.

All you can do is walk the fence and try to find the break. You could use a tester around different places along the fence to locate where you’re getting the most power drop off. As you get closer to the break or a possible grounding the current reading should get lower. Is it netting or single lines?

If it’s poultry netting check your bottom line where it attaches to the step in post. The posts where you connect your charger to. Sometimes when you step in your post the bottom hot line will slide down and make contact with the metal at the bottom of the stake and ground your fence.

@@easyworkacres that was exactly what was wrong lol, thank you!

Could work as long as you make it where it will autofill the bowl as the chickens drink it down. If it functions only how a normal toilet functions the bowl would get frank dry and won’t refill until it’s flushed.

I haven’t had problem with it being too hot anytime I’ve messed with it or cleaned it but it’s not in direct sun for too long throughout the day being mounted to the coop. Thanks for watching!

I had some that were crushed like that before. I’f you can get something to hold them out to their intended shape and leave em sit out in the sun for a few days the heat should help shape them back to how they should be.

@@easyworkacres Thank you. I started doing that last night and left them over night. Sat them over the woodstove over night and cooled them off this morning in that shape. Hope it works I don't know why starter fluid didn't work but maybe too windy. Thanks again.

Any update? Any bleeding should stop within a few minutes. Is he separated from the other chickens?

Keeps most of our hens in pretty well. We have 4 that jump the fence everyday but we don’t really care as it’s mostly intended to keep predators out at night. Never had any that can fit through it though. If it fits through the fence you may have electric netting intended for pigs. The squares are bigger on netting for larger livestock.

@easyworkacres yeah I have to order right on apparently I got the goat fence

That’s a pretty sweet set up he’s got. That wouldn’t work on our moveable coop as it doesn’t have electric so we would need to figure out a whole solar panel set up to do that. Also it seems like a lot of moving parts that could get damaged on a moveable coop like ours. Otherwise it’s super cool and looks like it works great. As far as cleaning goes it takes about 30 seconds a week to pull the drain plug and hit it with a brush so it’s not too time consuming to us.

Finally! I video that had all the info i needed! Been looking in to it for ducks but wasn't sure if it will work with rain collecting system without a pump for pressure. Thank you!!!!

Thanks for watching!

Not a bad idea at all! Thanks!

True. We are not concerned about predators though. We have farm dogs that do a great job at keeping predators away and this run will deal with any possible aerial predators.

@@easyworkacres Good job then.

Lots of fun. Adding new stuff all the time! Thanks for watching!

It seems like it’s gonna do pretty well for us!
