weekend projects - grass bottom brooder

6/1/2013

 
This title is somewhat mis-leading. We started this last weekend but ran out of pilferred materials and steam.

This will be an outdoor waterfowl brooder. The weather is very warm and ducks stink when kept on pine bedding. They play in their waters and dabble and mixed bedding, crap and water just plain stink. Outside in the grass is a great place for them to safely grow out. And After a full 3 months of changing disgusting waterfowl pools, no synthetic fertilize is needed.

getting closer -- still need the back door, a hinged lid and hardware cloth to close the gaps in the roof and still have ventilation
No time for the computer today -- hope you all have a great weekend. Get busy!

    Picture
    Kelley Creek Farms is a small (micro really) hobby farm located in Central Alabama 30 minutes south of Birmingham. We raise heritage and rare waterfowl and poultry along with a myriad of other creatures that give the farm its life. In addition to the birds, we raise heirloom tomatoes and vegetables.

    Each day is different and brings a new set of adventures. Some make you laugh and some make you cry. Some are just plain frustrating. But we persevere knowing that tomorrow's set of problems will be completely different than today. Still figuring all this out ....one day at a time and striving for a more sustainable way of life.
