RE: The chickens have arrived.

in #homesteading7 years ago

I want chickens too, but we moved to a neighborhood that doesn't really allow it. Congratulations on your ingenuity. I can't believe those red wagons didn't collapse, but lol I've used skateboards for heavy moving when nothing else was available. HA!

btw - I'm trying to convince my husband to write a post explaining how to build a chicken feeder (self-filling watering station). I'll let you know if the post goes live.

Sort:  

Yes, please! What's his handle on here? I'll give him a follow :)

The trick with the wagons was to keep the weight on the front steer axles and not the rear axles. The little on had the front wheels get stuck in a mole hole and the axle buckled and turned completely around, so we had to adjust it.

As.far as not being allowed to have chickens, here's a little something that can be inspiring:

I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
Robert A. Heinlein

To a degree, it inspired this project ;)

awesome quote!
Pat's handle is @triplep - he hasn't posted anything in nearly 2 years. Unfortunately he's got more free time than we anticipated so I've tasked him with coming up with some blog posts to keep him out of my hair. LOL He's already drawn up the blue print of his chicken feeder so I'll make sure to get that posted over the weekend. :)
