Smoked brisket chili for some leftover freezer clean out .... was busy most of the day making new chicken tractors for the 55 future chicken dinners we will be having! They are about ready to go onto pasture next week.

After a search of online images, I am crushed that no one has yet photoshopped a chicken onto a John Deere.

This country has lost its initiative! I blame #day_drankin

Last year, runoff forced open one of my barn doors and unbeknownst to me a vulture started nesting in in my front end loader. My wife wouldn't let me move the nest once our yard guy told her he saw eggs in it. No pics.

We gave up using our back porch several years ago after a robin laid three eggs in a nest in a crook of the drainpipe. It was very sweet to watch the babies hatch, then fledge, then wobble away through the air.

But when the robin started repairing and rebuilding, presumably for the next clutch, we removed the nest. Sorry ma’am, it’s grilling time, and you’re cramping our style!

It’s just a pan. We don’t cook food directly on it. It totes food back and forth to the grill, and I use it on a lower rack to collect drips.

But if you ever want to have a Special Time for Yourself, as in perhaps adding some additional social distancing between you and your SO while calming down from a discussion, I have to recommend a can of Pure Citrus from Home Depot and a stainless steel pad for some serious cleaning. It is absolutely astonishing how well the Pure Citrus works on decades-old baked-on grease. This stuff is Da Bomb.

At a minimum, your stainless steel will lose some black spots, and you have shiny stuff as a result.

Looking for Pure Citrus. I see air freshener, and I see this.

The stuff I use is labeled as air freshener, I suppose because it’s in a spray can, and it’s what normal people use it for. But it’s what the Home Depot employee in Memphis recommended. She said that they use it in store for everything.

The ingredient list says 100% citrus (orange?) oil, period. If thats the ingredient in this stuff, and it’s in a pump bottle, even better, I would think. If there are a ton of additional unpronounceable ingredients, I’d want to check the label for any mention of using on cookware/ dishware.

Wrong sir that is an IH (or cheap Russian knockoff) and may God have mercy on your soul!
i can see I’ll have to post my chickens, their tractor, their dinner and a “chicken it’s what for dinner“ sign at some point in the future of the dinner thread. If for no other reason than @Tin Man loves them posts 😉

If nothing else, I am guessing that dragging around upwards of 55 chicken runs should put an X in the daily box for anaerobic exercise.

—or possibly just one gi-normous chicken run after re-reading your post.

We live on a 1/5 acre lot, most of which is house and outbuilding, so I’m guessing that 5-8 chickens would be our max.

But I love chicken-raising stories, from E.B. White onward, so bring ’em on!

I just finished two new ones today and I will be putting 27.5 chickens in each of two tractors and 15 turkeys and 5 geese in another one. I do move them daily but only 12 feet. I have about 75 acres and about 10 of that is clover, oats, peas, buckwheat, grass etc... for the deer, rabbits,bees, wild turkeys, and chickens. I like all them things for dinner cept bees.... I just like the bee spit😂on a biscuit not the actual bee.
I had chicken breast teriyaki rice bowl with broccoli tonight.

27.5 chickens per tractor? Does each tractor have half a chicken? Hopping along on one little leg?

Hey I said I had 55 chickens and two tractors. I had 12 years of N.C. public school, 5.5 years of university matriculation with 2 degrees and 3 business majors, so I mathed the heck out of them numbers in my head and that’s what resulted... I haven’t figured out how it’s gonna work either but ciphering is ciphering🙈. I think this may call for pictures of said chickens, pastures, tractors, and beehives but with healthy dose of I had dinner looking at this so I don’t get accused (again) of going off thread🤫.

On that note...planning on fresh pork chops from the pasture raised pig slaughtered last week that my friend delivered to my sons house last night.

Lotta birds in them thar tractors. Got wheels on 'em?

Long ago, when the world was new and death was but a dream, I envisioned a HUGE mobile chicken enclosure (coop included) having aluminum framing and wheels on hydraulic pistons. To move these monsters, you engage the wheels, which are designed to keep the bottom frame just above the ground. The hydraulic pistons continue to provide support over uneven contours. Humans could move these, or they could be towed by vehicle or beast of burden. These would be moved across large fields in a pattern which keeps the chickens on fresh ground. Chicken litter would fertilize the fields, which could be alternately left fallow or grazed by other animals. "Are the chickens in four, Bob?" "No, Larry, they've still got 5 days in three before we open the fencing and move 'em over."
