Deere-est Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Bringing us almost up to date, here are some pics from the farm where I am wokring at the moment. Been there since first of Feb and the main job was to to take apart and sanitise all the gubbins inside the 12,000 bird chicjen shed. 6000 hens either side of a central pack house, free range egg production. I didn't get any of the dismantling etc but here are a few of what was included in the job to get it ready for the new flock of 12,000. Mucking out with JD3200, dumping in a pile just away from either end of the shed. Then shifting with Hymac 580 C, JD6900 & 10t Ace trailer.

Deere-est Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Tidying up round the edges, ain't no brush work here - we use a Stihl Leaf Blower!! Excellent. My tool for most of the first week. Cleaning out under the nest boxes, again - used to be a labour job by hand. Not any more!! Little and Large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Some of the 1600 floor slats ready to go back in. Support beams and legs. The empty shed. The nest boxes remain in situ throughout. First row down. We start at either end and work to the middle, it's critical to get it square else you can end up relaying big sections as they don't line up.

Deere-est Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 More of the floor, takes about two and a half days to do the floor both the sheds. 120 Drinkers disinfected and hand scrubbed, ready to go in. These are the wieghts. The drinking part. Feed bins washed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmitemania Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Nice pictures deere-est bet those sheds smelt pretty bad, I could never stand the smell of chicken poo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Rubber mats back in the nest boxes, 3 above, 3 below. The whitre mesh along the front is the two conveyor belts which carry the eggs to the packhouse. The rubber mats are fitted to a frame which is automatically tipped twice a day to roll the egss onto the belts. The verander running along the full length of the shed. This is for cleaning the hens feet before they come back inside. Just wooden frames clad with shicken mesh. Very bloomin heavy and there are 40 of them to move, clean the ground with the mini digger and the refit again. The mice bait blocks doing their stuff :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Nice pictures deere-est bet those sheds smelt pretty bad, I could never stand the smell of chicken poo. It wasn't too bad as the muck is only taken out once a year unlike broilers so it was fairly crusted in there. That said, pooh is pooh and chickens do the worst as you know!! It's the ammonia that gets ya isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 I'm really annoyed because a lot of my photos seem to have got lost along the way Here are the two trucks which brought the hens in anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Have also been topdressing the Oilseed Rape and the Barley with the Ford 7840 and Kuhn MDS. Just like the old days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Changing the disc over from field to headland. The headland disc has shorter viens so as not to propell the fertiliser more the 10m on a 20m setting. In the field the discs have a longer vein so that each time you go up and down the field you overlap on your previous bout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this ones days I think it was the Lely you just tilted the whole spreader to one side via a ram on a chassis frame under the hopper. This Kuhn was new in 1995 I think, I first started in 1996. So she has done some work. Although the tail light frame is a bit rusty and looking bad the machine in general is in pretty good nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Here are the rest of the cattle. The farm has as I say, about 30 sucklers. This is the eldest in the herd, always pushes out a cracking calf so untill otherwise, she'll be staying. The Tamest, No14 - she'll eat out fo your hand. I tried jumping onher back once. .. she ain't quite that time!! :D Last years bull claves. Last years heiffer calves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
