  Do you know where to find the drive fitting (black color with large threads) inside the transmission?

  No sorry I haven’t been able to find that either. The motor, sprinkler wand, and the ramp seem to be pretty easy to obtain but other than that parts are scarce.

  I have had an automatic water system on my chickens for at least 5 years now. It is such a time saver. I've also installed an automatic misting system since it gets to be over a hundred degrees where I am in California

  @michaelstrahl5 күн бұрын

  That’s awesome! I would have to agree. I’ve my cows,pigs, and now chickens all on automatic water now. Huge difference! You have any suggestions on the misting system or where to buy parts? It’s not something I really have to have but I wouldn’t mind doing it eventually. We occasionally have heat index’s that’ll get over 100.

  @michaelstrahl My husband and I actually our own channel and we have the video on making the mister system. It's JK Feather Ranch and we posted it a little bit ago. The mystery system is temperature triggered so as soon as it hits 95 degrees the system turns on so you don't have to worry about not being home if the temperature sudden spikes and you don't have to worry about overwatering since as soon as it's cool enough the system shuts off.

  Thanks! I’m in Indiana. I only raise meatbirds from late March to beginning of October. Freezing won’t be an issue for because I’ll be done before then. I’ll just make sure the line is drained and probably bring the waterers in out of the weather. I plan to bring my layer flock into my greenhouse this winter. Still working on that plan but that should eliminate all of my water freezing issues completely at that point!

  @@michaelstrahl strangely enough I've never used iMovie. I think if you're comfortable with it, it's fine. I love final cut pro 7, I've been using it for many years. But I've had the modernize and I'm using final cut pro x. It's a major learning process and I'm struggling because it's such a large change. It seems easy to work with the audio though. It definitely has a lot of possibilities. You can isolate a voice from background noise. It is pretty awesome if you're in a noisy room or outside with wind. I'm actually not a fan of Adobe premiere especially on earlier versions. it's really hard to deal with audio.

  Ok that’s good to know. I feel pretty limited with iMovie. It’s what I had so I just went with it. I don’t know how advanced I want to be but I don’t want the software to be what limits me. I’m trying to figure out how everyone does the slide overlays on screen. For example if I wanted to do a cost break down while I’m talking about a project. iMovie has been great to get started but I feel like there are some efficiencies I’m missing out on because of its beginner oriented nature. I think Final Cut is probably the investment I need to make in the future.

  The first time I heard the term, "chicken brooder", was in a Jerry Clower comedy routine (if you know who I'm talking about, you know the routine to which I refer), and I swear to you, I thought he was saying, "chicken rooter". For the longest time, I thought it was some sort of farm plumbing fixture, or watering device.

  Glad I saw this follow-up video. My goats would destroy this. That metal doesn't look as tough as what I have on the roof of my house, but it is corrugated the same way, I wonder.

  Your kids jumping up onto the trailer during loading didn't help matters. Also, a solid panel works better to move hogs. As others have stated position the trailer prior to loading and feed inside the trailer for a week or so. Also, the wooden ramp spooked the animals. Hogs don't like a change of footing to walk on. I'd just have them jump up into the trailer from the dirt alley.

  I really appreciate the feedback. I agree I need a better plan for the kids. I want them included but they can’t make things more difficult on the load. Solid panels are a must this year. That’s been the biggest feedback I’ve received. Feeding in the trailer still worries me. I’m not sure my trailer can handle it. Hopefully I can address some metal issues I have before the next load. The wood ramp didn’t help. I agree with you. The year before they struggle to get in the trailer. It wasn’t mine and it sat hire though. All good stuff! Thanks again for the help!
