Thanks just got the notification!

Ok on this I didn't see any literature on the switches but are they programmed each for an on/off time? like on for 2 minutes then off? I am using a current switch like that which I can program all the on/off cycles on one switch but with this set up I am thinking that I do as mentioned earlier...

@Mouthpear So I looked over you youtube videos but the links above show as restricted in google. But if I am correct then if I get two of the THC15A timers, a din rail with some blocks, a power supply and a 12in Linear Actuator then this youtube video is the correct one for wiring that setup...

I appreciate it but I am limiting myself to those two breeds and my sfh.

Anyone going to Gilmanor this weekend that might have some dominique or SLW eggs? I will have some extra room in my incubator due to a less than stellar effort by the post office that I need to fill.

Yes it is the same. You just have to ask around. I have three local one man operations within 2 miles of me that I know of. With the small woodmizer mills that are on the market a lot of farmers have bought one to supply fencing and building materials. Good thing is you can get things...

Truthfully. Not much. Based on the photos on Meyer's website and discussion in this very thread and the SFH facebook page Meyer's has non-SFH in their flock. I forget exactly what it was but the combs they show are not typical SFH.

Every building around my place is built with sawmill lumber. Never had those problems and paid a fraction as much as it would to get the same lumber from the big box stores. Pneumatic tools are your friend when doing construction projects.

It is always the first weekend in may.

The year before last had 4 newsletters go out. Not sure about last year since I missed my renewal and didn't re-up till this year. They really haven't been keeping up the site lately, even the members area. The only thing really kept up has been the breeder's directory in the member's area...

The club is very active over on facebook but you have to be a dues paying member to access it. They have a newsletter that is pretty good but it is only sent out electronically. Only a handful of hard copies are sent out to a handful of old timers that don't do email or the internet. Going...

Go to the meet us section of the webpage and contact either Julie Gupton or Suzette Ellington via email. It may take a little while but I am sure they can help you out.

Yeah we have pretty good deputies here. I had to dispatch two dogs before that were attacking sheep on a farm I rented before but didn't get any compensation that time. They did charge the woman for disposal of the dogs bodies and she was fined but her and her dogs already had a violation...

Well I just have to vent and say I really hate people that let their dogs run free. Over the last few months I have lost over a dozen chickens usually in the late afternoon after I let them out of their electric net enclosure. I couldn't figure out what was doing it but thought it had been...
