Cute factor!


Within a few minutes they all were drinking, eating, chirping like 20 happy little campers.

Jim,

Nice batch of chicks they should keep you busy.

 

[releventchair]

A couple small clumps of sod can be introduced as they get more active.
Things to keep them busy/distracted help reduce their pecking on each other /or worse.
Seldom a problem , unless they are over crowded.
Or ages mixed ,new birds introduced into an established flock.

There is an informal rules with chicks when other family members keep score of your hero-ship points.
That rule is , don't step on a chick or chicks....

The older chickens are in the outer coop now. They'll be able to see and certainly hear the chirping.
Just have to keep them warm, and safe.
I think I will be babysitting for a while yet.

The 5000 tractor died, just went click when I went to start up again.
Got a lift of lumber on the front.
Cleaned posts, seems to be at the starter.
Lots of power for lights and flashers.
Tractor mechanic on his way, really need a more reliable tractor.
One day I could hug then, another I could torch em!
Being 47/48 years old I have to cut them slack.

I'd swing by and kick your tractor for ya , but it's a ways away...
I put a new starter on the 52 this summer. Starts now. Knock on wood.
Cleaned it up where starter mounts to frame. It wasn't bad , but I treat it like a grounding surface , just in case.

I started up a batch of fermented grated beets the other day and this morning started a another jar of green tomatoes.

Finally did the old screw driver on the solenoid lost power to the dash lights also. Headlights, 4 ways work fine. So it seems to be a wiring issue someplace. Managed to finish moving the 6 lifts of board and batten around into the shop parking lot. Now to start staining the 200+ 16ft inch pine boards plus the battons.. Yippy.......

I've put out a couple feelers on getting a pole barn built.
No bids yet. Tells me folks are plenty busy.
Your lumber is worth...Well you know what it's worth. (!)

You checked the ignition switch contacts and connections on that Ford? And starter switch? (Yes , you likely did , twice.)
No idea sure what it has for a solenoid. If it has one. Alright , I looked it up. Not saying it's on your year tractor , but it's like the solenoid on Fords cars in the sixties/seventies we used to have to clean grounding surfaces on wheel wells of. When mounted on the wheel wells.

The solenoid could be jumped with a pocket knife on those without the ignition on.. As the hood did not have an interior of the car latch. Fun times...
A "click ,click" meant weak battery , or ground , usually. Power wasn't getting past there enough to do anything.
Which you already know...
