    It was said food should be available to them all the time. When not free ranging substituting with other food source is needed? What feed in the bag you are giving them. I know it is hen house reserve just don't know what it is.

    how many days of work did you say that was? you mean 10 min each day right?

    • @pitchkettle
      @pitchkettle 4 дні тому

      Roughly 10 minutes per load to dig, haul and dump. So a 3-load-day takes 45 total minutes to get everything together, do the work and put it all away.

  • @AdamRuppert
    @AdamRuppert 4 дні тому

    If you insist upon digging the whole thing by hand, I would recommend getting a Pulaski or grub hoe. This way you can loosen up the soil using different methods, switching from one muscle group to another so you don’t tire as quickly.

      I have access to an excavator and a skid steer. Could have this done in a few days. But I want to see how far I can go doing this by hand. :) A great way to stay in shape and suffer a little in this summer heat 🤙🏼 I appreciate it though!

    It’s easier to dig if you have wet soil, not soaking wet just wet. The shovel cuts easier and it’s easier on you.

    When I worked for a utility company, I would often dig 3'x4x5' holes multiple times per day. Good exercise! Keep at it, looks like you have easy soil and few rocks. Should be a satisfying task.

      ​@pitchkettle I am with @jerrywtf9053. Use that excavator when it is that hot, dehydration is real. Especially when you have to dig several feet down for the desired depth of the pond.

    Looks like maybe you sharpened that shovel. I could only do 2 loads of sand yesterday. Too hot. 2 days ago I blew out a tire and had to replace both of them. These have grease fittings so I should get more life out of the bearings. No rain in months so sand is very hard to shovel. I fill a bucket, then dump bucket into metal cart.

    Thank you 🙏 for this video. This is exactly what I was needing. I have a question- is that brand of feed you use the best ? I am using Dumor brand . I have 8 chickens 2years old now. Egg production is always uneven. I have treated them lately for being egg bound. Starting to experience deficiencies on them. I’m trying to do the best to have them healthy.so I was considering changing their feed to the one you use. Your thoughts are appreciated. Thank you 🙏 again

  • @mrbrown6421
    @mrbrown6421 9 днів тому

    I told you, sir. Take a rotary grinder and SHARPEN the cutting edge of the round shovel. DO NOT use a flat shovel. This is easy and will make that shovel slice through dirt. This is a big effort and if bacon grease on the shovel worked...I would tell you. But no grease. -- North Central Florida -- 6.17.24

    Panda is adorable! They all are so cute! The grey ones always turn out beautiful, but I'm biased LOL. I have one, I call her Dorothy, (the mother was an easter egger with gold, brown and black feathers, and the rooster was a black astralorp). Dorothy hatched out a beautiful medium grey, but turned into medium silverish grey with 2 black feathers in each wing. Her eggs are olive color. I recently hatched 2 of hers, but this time the rooster was a dark brahma, and oh my, they are so adorable. Can't wait to see what their offspring looks like :) Looking forward to seeing how yours turns out too, hope you keep us posted.
