HEATWAVE....Or calm before the storm whichever it is I'm taking advantage of it. Getting some spring stuff done early since I'm laid off for the winter. Ground and raised nest boxes for everyone plus a few more partridge pens as well as getting some groups set up for breeding all together a productive day!

Just keep moving forward... This is what I tell myself when something good, bad, or indifferent happens. Which is what i was taught at the beginning you've gotta do when raising birds. Today is one of those good moments. A feeling of accomplishment. A feeling of fulfillment. This brooding shed has been planned in my head for going on 3 years now. Everytime id go to visit someone new or watch a video on YouTube of a tour, I'd always get new ideas, which is why this project took so long to come together. But I'm happy to say it finally has, still a couple final touches to do but I certainly and I can't wait to get this 2025 season going! Those few of you that might see a little bit of your own setups in mine I thank you for either inviting me and my wife to visit or inviting the necessary people in to document for all of us to see! Plus just a few of these past couple weeks additions and projects. I think im finally ready for 2025 breeding season πŸ˜†

Put in a little work today on my brooding shed. Got row 1 framed for the most part just need to doors and wire in heaters for each one. Each brooder is about 18x18x12. With removable dividers for bigger hatches. Hoping these will help ease the mess as well as help get those touchy species up on there feet a little easier.

One thing I will say about snow it definitely helps when you're a visual thinker/planner. Spent my day yesterday and today putting together some thoughts on paper as well as on snow lol. Who else still draws things out? Few major projects in the works for next year. Shed expansion to accommodate 3 5Γ—8 warm pens. With 3 5x10or12 outside runs as well as 4 more 4x8or10 grow outs because who DOESN'T need more space for baby birds?? Is it spring yet?πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
