You can keep your birds from flying away with this little tip… (Hint,
it’s not wing clipping…)
That’s awesome. Something like that might take the worry out of me
eventually letting my sheep loose on the farm. How long did it take them to
discover it/adapt to it?
There has been a few wild mallards get hit on the highway lately. wobble

Thank you
I’ll let the Mrs. know you said so
Pretty simple isn’t it – feed them and they will stay, lol.
Nice video– we’d love to have some chickens around our place someday.
I think you shall keep her around a bit longer, she seems useful. LOL
completely kidding. Very smart idea! You are a blessed man, indeed. Matt
As time passes and our children and animals grow, the more I notice the
similarities. In this case, the unending mantra quietly chanted in their
subconscious – “… food… Food… FOOD …”
Good idea. But what about the hawks in your area?
They are nice to have around. Lots of uses for them
Any signs that it might lessen or increase the cost of feed? Ie waste, etc?
when i use to have chickens and turkeys (house and their pen pretty close
to road, ) and let them out they followed me everywhere, picking up bugs
and weeds as i pulled them or protecting me in the woods lol , i miss them
buggers
A 50 pound sack of corn runs around $11 and lasts about a month on the
settings we are using. There is no waste as far as the food goes, the birds
are diligent in searching out each kernel. If you meant the birds waste…
if there is any more than normal, I cannot tell the difference.
She’s a smart cookie – I’ll have to learn to listen to her ideas more often
Thanks Matt – She’s a smart lady – and very apt at being able to say “Um,
Jared, it would be easier if…”
That is a shame, mallards are beautiful birds – I’m sure they are very
useful too, but I enjoy looking at them.
Beats fencing! You have to feed them anyway… Great job Mrs J. Take care,
be safe!
Thank you
We have never had a problem with hawks. Probably from the dense foliage
available for the birds to hide in. Also, their coop remains open to them
during the day, so if they felt the need to run there, they could.
Outstanding!
Excellent! Make use of those bird brains!
That is a great idea and so simple.
Wow great idea! I wish I could use it, but being in the city I just don’t
have enough space for the Chickens to be totally free.
lol thats just awesomeness!
