  • Add a nest box and this tractor is perfect for laying hens. I'll discuss plans, tips, and total costs.

      It works great. We still use it but we attached a pen to the side so its stationary.

      No, it works great but we got tired of moving it. My small back yard was getting grazed pretty god with 15 chickens. So we parked it in the edge of the woods, attached a dog pen on one side for a run. We let them loose every evening to forage and they go in at dark. We shut them up each night.

    When you said you was a preacher not a carpenter made made think about a bumper sticker I seen one time that said my boss was a Jewish carpenter. Guess you are just taking after your boss.
    My Daddy loved to have clover in the yard. The yard were we lived until I was about 11 was covered with clover. I was always getting bee stings. One time my sister got had one sting her on the foot set down to look at her foot and set down on one and got it on her back side to. We was always barefoot in the summer so the feet was getting it every once in awhile.

    • @preachersdayoff
      @preachersdayoff  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I left the clover as long as I could but I never got a lot of bees like when I was a kid. Just a few here and there.

    That's a slick setup you got there Preacher. I think I'll stick with what I've got, they never eat the grass down so I mow it. Might need more chickens to keep the grass down.
    See ya Preacher

      I wanted something I could move instead of having a permanent coop. This seems to be the ticket so far.

      -40, add a heat lamp and cover the sides

      Covid is just the distraction, while we struggle with masks or not, vaxx or not, employment or not our elected officials and bureaucrats behind the curtain are quietly removing our private property rights, our right to travel, our right to assemble, our ability to use cash money and bringing in digital id and digital currency, TOTAL ENSLAVEMENT ! Until the sheeple wake up and you impact the big businesses that run government and are supporting and driving the lockdowns, nothing is going to change. Many of our government officials including Chrystia Freeland belong to the World Economic Forum (you will own nothing and be happy).

    When I had chickens I kept them in an old barn and let them wonder during the day. I'd get the occasional loss until one day two dogs went into the barn to kill them all after I let them out in the morning. Of course no tags or collars on the dogs and I had them taken away. They found the owners and I got compensation. The next day the one dog I saw walking up the road so shotgun came out but he must have decided better and I never saw him again near my place.

    • @preachersdayoff
      @preachersdayoff  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The same thing happened to me when I raised guineas, 3 dogs got in the coop one night and killed them all. I got one dog before they got away, never saw the other 2 again.

    Wow that was a good plan and job well done. Why and where did the tractor name come from? Is that a southern thing or have I been living in the dark in ND to long? Lol

    • @preachersdayoff
      @preachersdayoff  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think tractor came from the movable design. But what do I know? I'm from AR...
