Help I need ideas. The neighbor got this brilliant idea to get a flock of Chickens. 18 layers, three Roosters, 1 Brooder hen and a chick. The guy he bought them from told him that they would lay a few eggs a day. Well those few eggs in a week turned out to be 12 dozen. I went in halves on the...

I had about 400 head to pour and clip. The pouring went smooth it was the clipping and cleaning up the heads that was a pain where pills can't reach. My hands started to develop blisters. Part of the heads came out with way to much flash on them. Dang hooks were not fitting the mold right. New...
