    We drained the lines completely, we removed as much of the old pipe as was accessible, and then installed PVC pipe caps over the cut ends of the remaining pipe.

    We brought our pekins out the second week we had them on nice days and made sure to stay out with them. There were some days when they were close to develop feathers but didn't have them yet, when it was below 60F and I put them on the front porch with their heat lamp on one end and a box on its side on the other. They rarely sat under the lamp on those days. I had them outside full time on nice days before they were fully feathered, still yellow. They were too big to keep in the house any longer. They are fully feathered and 2 1/2 months old now. They are fantastic about bed time and follow me to their pen around dusk (trained them easily with peas). They often will head to bed on their own without me if I'm not ready when they are 😆. They love to follow me around when im outside and sometimes will stand outside the window and call me when they want me outside. Its adorable :-) They seem to follow my voice cause I'll hear them outside a window I'm standing next to and looking in waiting for me.

    Great video! I have a pond that’s 2 feet deep. I live in Canada where it freezes over the water. Would it be safe for the goldfish at that depth since I have an aerator stone that I could put at 12 inches for an opening ... any suggestions or should I just bring them indoors during the winter. Thanks for any suggestions!

    It's beautiful but the fishes have no place to hide. You need aquatic plants, hyacinth, water lettuce and water lillies. Plus it would look more natural with plants surrounding the pond. I guess it's new and not complete yet. Fishes are cute. 💗💕💗
