Happy Hens

Today I have researched about water feeders and how to make one. To make this water feeder you need….

. 2 or more water cups

. 5 gallon food grade bucket

. Toughening tape

. 3 Inch drill bit

As well as learning to research to find a good video I also learnt about science.

Did you know that water always finds it’s own level? So that means if you fill up a pipe and hold it up a centimetre from a bowl you’ll think it would stop as soon as the bowl is full, but no it keeps going until the water is the same height as the water out side the pipe. But the watering cup stops the water from freely flowing until a chicken comes and presses down the lever and the water is released. It kind of words like a mouse/rat waterer.

When I get the equipment I can build the waterer. Down below is the video I got off youtube.

A few days ago I brought two bags of chicken food, and my Dad bought me a food container so the wild rats don’t get in. The bags of food costs fifteen dollars each so I bought two. I have raised in total one hundred and seven dollars in three weeks! So thirty dollars minus one hundred and seven equals seventy seven. I have made a Business Balance Sheet on Excel so I can keep track on how much money is spent and earned.

The blue marker on the picture just crosses off he food and water feeders because I haven’t bought them yet. My year to date is currently seventy seven dollars.

I still need to fix the fence and make a bigger chicken pen. Then I can rescue some Rx-Battery Chickens. Ex-Battery Chickens usually have no feathers when you first rescue them, so you have to keep them warm.

Knitting isn’t my thing but I’ll have to learn to knit so I can make some chicken sweaters so the featherless chickens can keep warm. The sweaters act like feathers for them.

Me Selling Parkrun Designs.

Yesterday I launched my business, I have sold around ten cards and got thirty dollars. Many people didn’t have any money to buy one  so they are coming back next week. Thankyou for all who has helped ex-battery hens by buying my cards. On that day we were also displaying other projects linked to the UN’s Global Goals, that we need to achieve by 2030. I think my business project links to the goals of ‘Life On Land’, ‘Reduced Inequalities’, ‘Sustainable Communities and Responsible Consumption and Production.

Next week for all of the people who wanted to buy one that didn’t have any money on them, I will be at Arthur Davis Park this Saturday 16th September. You can order from 6:30 to 7:00  or 7:30 to 8:00.

Here is some cat Parkrun sticker backs. In total I have got twenty sticker backs. I need around one hundred more at least.

Wait next time for more sticker backs and posts. Please leave in the comments below for an early order or I would advise to start ordering when I say so. So there are more choices. You could also give me a description is f what you like. To order and the prices please go down below to the next post.

Please feel free to give me more and ideas in the comments!

Ten Cat Sticker Parkrun Backs

I think I am going to sell my patterned Parkrun stickers for minimum two dollars.

It’s fifteen dollars for a big pack of laminates and ten dollars for some markers. So that’s twenty five dollars in total, and to buy an ex battery hen costs around ten dollars so I need to at least sell thirteen stickers to look after an ex battery hen. More battery hens will be better though…

Firstly to kick start I need to buy more food a bigger water container a bigger food container expand the area and the coop and to fix the fence.

Food costs twenty one dollars the water and food drinker and feeder costs fifteen dollars to expand the area and the coop would cost twenty dollars plus the markets the laminates and the first hen. In total the first week I need to to get one hundred and one dollars or more. Then all I need to do is get more money to recur more ex battery hens to our wonderful yard.

Normal Order: To get one of my beautiful creations on the back of your Parkrun card, you need to firstly pay some money and give me the Parkrun card you would like me to stick on a picture. The card must be a standered sized and must be card or paper without any contact or lamination. Then the next week I will bring it back with the picture of your choice.

Special Order: If you want the same Parkrun card as someone else you’ll have to write down whose Parkrun card you want to match up with, and I will make the exact same.

Special Special Order: If you haven’t found something you have liked but still want a Parkrun Patterened Sticker Back you can custonmize your own or give me a picture you would like. You can also give me a discription, but don’t think I will match the exact picture you were thinking.

This preparation will take up to 2-3 weeks because firstly you might have a Parkrun card but it has contact on so you will have to wait next week to bring me a plain card. Then I will have to go home and stick and laminate the card, so next week I can bring it back to their owner. If you have an already plain one it will take two weeks.

Just to remind you again all of the money is put to recusing ex battery hens so I can bring them home and let them live a happy life.
