The adjustable height chicken feeder
Heath Robinsons goat feeder
The wooden stick in the middle is to stop it tipping over
Hi Folks,
The first daylight saving morning wasn't too bad. First up was to repair the bedside cabinet in 13 that had it's top ripped off. Apparently the staples in this high quality piece couldn't handle whatever the guests were doing to it. A few nails and some glue and it was back together. Next job was to make a goat feeder at Ilan's suggestion. This was 2*4 litre ice cream containers screwed to a plank with an eye in the end and matching pole with a hook. The idea being that you can fill the containers outside the electric fence and slide it under. I also rigged up a chicken feeder on a rope for Ilan as well. It has just struck me that rather than trying to describe these items a picture would be better. I'll attend to it in the morning.
We have another broody hen under a discarded slippery dip. It's one of the three salt and pepper ones. Probably the only one that hasn't had a brood yet! I think we need to mark them somehow to be able to tell them apart.
At 7 I drove along with Selina and Doris to pick up Nick who was doing a walk from Remarkable Cave. We took the opportunity to visit the cave and while we were returning Nick took the opportunity to jump out of the bushes and scare the bejabbers out of the girls.
We returned to a delish chicken pasta carbonara prepared by Susan and after dinner settled down to play UNO. A lot of laughs as usual. Doris picked the game up quickly. It is now midnight so tomorrow will be bleary eyes especially for Susan who has 7 continental breakfasts to prepare in the morning.
We have chosen our next HelpX near Sheffield in the shadows of Cradle Mountain. 10 acre non organic farm with capsicums in greenhouses!
Night Folks
Cheers Simon
