A pumpkin a day keeps eggs layin' and the hatchet away.

Google says:
Pumpkin is one of the most nutritious treats you can ever offer your chickens. Pumpkin flesh is chock full of vitamin E, thiamine, niacin, vitamin B6 and iron. Pumpkin seeds are an excellent source of dietary fiber, zinc, protein and healthy fats.

Rumor is it's also good for deworming. It's why i have pumpkins in my garden.

Yes but i havent' figured out how to edit yet. Once I do, watch out.

I use https://www.capcut.com/ It's free and pretty simple to use. I try to make all of my video's less then a minute and a half so I can post them on Meta and TikTok. The Speed up feature makes it easy to get a lot more into a short amount of time.

Here is a drove video that I took of my place last week. It was over 20 minutes long of flying around my land. It was boring. I cut it down to a minute and a half, and it's more watchable.

I got the first rail up for the panels, now I need to go down the line. i made a little jig so i can clamp the next rail to the first and it'll be appropriately spaced and hopefully will go faster.

I'll have to check that out, thanks.

The structure is done. Now it's time to add the rails.

I got the first rails last night, now the second tonight. 2 rails is 6 panels. When I got the first rail done, i made a jig so i could space the second rail. In total there will be 4 sets of 6, but for now I'm focusing on 2.

Also the structure is made of steel and the panels are aluminum, dissimilar metals can cause problems. So I'm sticking a rubber washer between them.

I'm having a hard time marking my holes where to drill. I tried paint, but it's raining, and it runs all over. I tried cutting a pencil off, but i can't get leverage. I'm looking for suggestions.

Jolt of spray paint (if not raining)?
Lipstick?

 

[EddieWalker]

Little bit of caulking at the end of the bolt will tell you where to drill.

I ended up using a pick to scratch the metal. It worked well. I got 3 panels up, I'm going to have to figure out a way to get the top ones up.
