Replacing Chicken House Feed Line Bearing...Why Does A Simple Job Always Become Complicated??

- Опубліковано 16 лют 2023
- When you have 30 year old chicken houses, things are always tearing up. Some flocks it seems like all we do is repair things, usually late at night or on the weekends. Eric had a feed line bearing go out in one of his chicken houses, and it turned into a much bigger project.

Thanks for that 🐔
Thanks for the video. I’m going to buy a farm soon and this helps a lot. Please do more repair videos.
Will do. Good luck!
Hard work, but you did well
Thanks!
Everything you said in this video I can relate with
My line done the same thing today in my turkey houses
Not a fun day when you walk in and find that
@FarmerHunt very Very true
@FarmerHunt this way of making a living can try a person's patience lol
@@FarmerHunt hope y'all are doing well
@@deweypowell2684 I agree 100%. We just finished an awful flock. Ended up with about 85% livability. Hope the next is better.
When Eric was doing tool list I was waiting for the vice grips. Nice work guys!
Oh yeah those are a must for this repair. They got excluded from the tool list but definitely got used.
I got cows and chickens I don’t usually plan to go anywhere 😂 good job guys I have a UA-cam to
Haha sounds like you know how it goes. We’ll check it out!
I appreciate yall doing these types of videos for us chicken and cattle farmers! I just recently had an egg belt break 1st thing in the morning and cows had to be at the sale barn that same day so,,, yes it can be hectic but what a lifestyle! Thank yall!
Thanks for watching. Sounds very familiar! You can make all sorts of plans but doesn’t necessarily mean that’s how your days gonna go.
@@FarmerHunt 🤣 yes sir you can forget planning reservations or anything of that nature, haha! Sure beats a 9-5 job though!
I appreciate your videos. We just bought a Broiler farm. We are almost done with all the updates on it and should have our first flock in a few weeks. I have learned a lot from yall keep it up!
Thanks for watching. Good luck with your first flock!
Great job!
Thanks!
I’m a broiler breeder farmer from n Ireland, what was the 2 steel balls, that when into hopper for 🐔
When the auger runs those balls will move around in the bottom of the hopper.They help keep the feed from compacting and keeps it feeding down.
What purpose was the ball bearings In the hopper riding on top augers? Thanks in advance! Thanks for sharing your videos!
Breaks up clots in the feed so that it doesnt back up in hopper or break auger when a big piece goes into line
Or the extra vibration makes your switch kick on if it sticks. 👍🏻
@Mark Baxley are they left in while in operation? Do they stay in while auger fills hoppers and feed lines running feed I should say
@josephnovakjr8198 yes, typically line with auger coming into house is 3.5 inches. The auger and pipe they are working on in this video 1.75 inches. These "cannon balls" are used to help make sure nothing too big goes into the line. Some are metal like these and some are wood, just depends on the brand.
What is that around his neck?
It's a bluetooth headset. It has retractable ear buds on the end of each side that you can pull out and put in your ears.
What is the average age of chicken houses in your area? They are a fairly new thing in our area and the integrator is trying to sign farmers. I’m just curious to the life span of one.
I don’t really know for sure. There are a lot of houses built in the 80s and 90s that are still fully operational. Several years back people started building much bigger houses. Ours are 40’x500’. Now they mostly build 66’x600’ houses. They now have concrete side walls also so I’m sure those houses will last much longer.
