| Shed before I started today |
I have
started work on the new brooder. I started to making a 7 foot long
worktop to go in the shed and have made the frame, back and sides for
the new brooder, which measures 4 foot by 2.5 foot. This will be the
second stage brooder, where I'll put the chicks from 2-3 weeks old and
will have raised platforms for feeders and drinkers and some low perches
for them to hop on and off. I plan on attaching a first stage brooder
next to it. But that will have to wait a while, as I'll need to buy
materials for it. This will be followed by breeding cages/off heat
brooders underneath. I also need to think of storage, so will be
putting shelving up on the
other side and ends of the shed. Other than that, I have cut the grass
in the front garden and plan on taking down the horrible blue fence
around it tomorrow morning before finishing off the brooder, then
tidying up the garden.
Eggs are still a bit thin on the ground but I did have the following today
1 Turkey
2 Lavender Pekin
1 Millifluer Pekin
1 Friesian Fowl
I don't know if the ducks are laying, but I haven't found an egg yet  |
