    Talking A fishing pond for my Chickens!


    Normally when I get home from fishing, I have a few minnows left.
    I throw them to the Chickens. They love em'.

    Later on I was working on a Water supply problem to the Chickens, and I thought of the idea: "Put some fish in a Trench that runs through the Chicken Coop!

    Cool, I'll have a Minnow supply and the fish will have a Fishing pond.

    One end of the Trench will be open near the Chicken feeder. The Chickens slop a lot of that dry stuff over, so it'd fall into the Fish pond to feed the little fish.
    I got it made: I though!:o

    My Wife says: "You have to give them little fish Oxygen to keep em alive!"

    I'm too cheap to provide a pump for that. But as time went by and I was working with the Rabbits, I noticed my Does are developing quite a Dewlap.
    Hmmmm, there's the answer to the Oxygen pump.
    I'll put them fat Does on a Treadmill. Hook the Treadmill up to an Oxygen pump and that will keep the Minnows alive.:D]

    In a few places along the trench I'll put something bright white on the bottom of the trench so the Chickens will spot the moments, and go spear fishing.:p

    The Rest of the Trench will be covered with black visqueen so the Chickens cant fill it with their scratching.

    So... how's that for the Green, Recycle, Fox Fire movement?
    I just wish I could be better at fishing. Or maybe luckier!:D

    A bit of Rube Goldberg? sounds like you have it worked out.
    Creativity is just intelligence fooling around

    Almost.
    I have different colored Chicken Feathers and some White Rabbit fur for the Jig tying and dubbing.
    Soon; if all the planets ever align again, I may find time to go fishing and use some of that stuff.
    I just wish I could be better at fishing. Or maybe luckier!:D
