Well Momma's 'keets' are here, 30 retarded looking 'chickens' (guinea fowl). After almost $300 in hardware, and old wood laying around fixing up the old chicken koop, making the machine wired up brooder, and $150 for 30 birds, I hope these things do as advertised and in a few weeks when we cut em loose the tick population goes down.

And there was some ancient 1920's wiring I had to redo to get the heat lamps up and running, paper wire filiment fuses, cotten wrapped copper wire, jeeze those things went in the late 40's.

When I contracted for AT&T, rewiring the old Michigan Bell buildings we worked on a great deal of lighting that was cotton wrapped copper and paper wire fuses.


I hated those old fixtures.
