although we've had a little tragedy here at the BC Trucks poultry plantation I
was letting my Birds out to free-range and worked great for six months and the
other day a hawk got one of my one of the white ones the only other one that
was laying that buff the big buff there is still not laying so uh told my my
friend Sue and she said so are you going to have a funeral and a barbecue haha
thanks sue anyway here's what I'm doing I want to
build a little run here at 16 by 20 let me back up
here's there right there's the door and what I'm going to do I picked up a whole
bunch of 3/8 20 foot long rebar all this I got all
this for 20 bucks and it's like 15 or 16 pieces there that's bent but uh I'll be
able to unbend it and I'm going to go around the top of all these T posts and
weld rebar I'm going to weld it along the bottom and the reason I'm doing that
is so nothing will be able to push the chicken wire in at the top I'm gonna
have to put a roof on this so right here where the peak of this where the highest
part of that roof is I'm going to put a couple of landscape timbers down
something across the top and I'll go across the top of it with chicken wire
this is going to be a long process because you know I'm just starting back
to work I don't have the money to spend on stuff like I want just a little bit
at a time so that's what's going on with my birds
I'll show you the how power faster-growing the black astral ohrp's
my god they're just about double in size hello girls good morning good morning
good morning ladies and a little buffs they are easily doubled in size so I
have a total of ten Birds now and one that's doing all the work and this one's
not laying yet I don't know I don't know why not but I'm sure she'll in her own
good time no hurry you just take your time I got
plenty of food all right I gotta go fill that hole in that I dug yesterday for my
water line that was leaking and then I'm gonna get started on this all right I
got my rebar all welded on to this now across the bottoms across the tops and a
couple of cross braces diagonal cross braces here in the corner because the
door is going to be hanging off of this here so next I gotta get three
landscapes timbers and set them here here and here and then I'm going to run
a piece of rebar across the top of them and then I'm going to make like some
trusses with the rest of my rebar coming up coming up from the edges and that'll
hold the chicken wire up the roof keep the Hawks from dive-bombing and from
from above all righty until I get chicken wire this is the end of the road
I'm Birds you getting tired of ten of them being in that little coupe there
it's nine by thirteen and I'm really anxious to give them this room I feel
kind of guilty heaven I'm cooped up in that little area but they got plenty of
food plenty of water and I keep their house they're pretty
pretty darn clean so I haven't heard any complaints so far
Allah thanks for watching BC trucks perfectly pleasing to the
pupil poultry plantation and any other P words you can think of see you
