Dealing with the new peeps
Not as many chicks are hatching as I expected for some reason but some are. I needed to get another place for the ones that already hatched out so they can get some water and food.
Here’s the incubator this morning and I want to move the older ones into another container to give the other eggs more time to hatch.
New chick pen
So I put this little pen together in the feed shed.
Brooder box
It has a heater and some water and some peep feed I ground up for them out of the whole seeds I feed the chickens. I put some of the food on the floor so it’s easy for them to find as they are natural scratchers. I’ll keep them in the box until they get just a little bigger than let them out into the little pen.
I moved 6 of them into the brooder area I assembled. They seemed to be doing well there and were already eating.
Spark plugs and wires
After I got that going I put the spark plugs and new spark plug wires on the van’s engine which took up quite a bit of the day.
After I did that I turned the key to see if I did it right and if it ran ok. It started and seems to be running right. I will test it more after I time it.
I also ran some wires to improve the electrical.
Quite a rats nest of wires under the dash there eh.
Stuff to do
So I still need to check out the engine’s timing and install a couple of electrical switches on the electric radiator fans and I should about be done.
It was nice out there today so I did a fair amount of chair hopping and just sitting around enjoying the day.
Nice day.
