@@deweypowell2684 I agree 100%. We just finished an awful flock. Ended up with about 85% livability. Hope the next is better.

When Eric was doing tool list I was waiting for the vice grips. Nice work guys!

Oh yeah those are a must for this repair. They got excluded from the tool list but definitely got used.

Hard work, but you did well

When the auger runs those balls will move around in the bottom of the hopper.They help keep the feed from compacting and keeps it feeding down.

What purpose was the ball bearings In the hopper riding on top augers? Thanks in advance! Thanks for sharing your videos!

Breaks up clots in the feed so that it doesnt back up in hopper or break auger when a big piece goes into line

@Mark Baxley are they left in while in operation? Do they stay in while auger fills hoppers and feed lines running feed I should say

@josephnovakjr8198 yes, typically line with auger coming into house is 3.5 inches. The auger and pipe they are working on in this video 1.75 inches. These "cannon balls" are used to help make sure nothing too big goes into the line. Some are metal like these and some are wood, just depends on the brand.

What is that around his neck?

It's a bluetooth headset. It has retractable ear buds on the end of each side that you can pull out and put in your ears.

What is the average age of chicken houses in your area? They are a fairly new thing in our area and the integrator is trying to sign farmers. I’m just curious to the life span of one.

I don’t really know for sure. There are a lot of houses built in the 80s and 90s that are still fully operational. Several years back people started building much bigger houses. Ours are 40’x500’. Now they mostly build 66’x600’ houses. They now have concrete side walls also so I’m sure those houses will last much longer.
