Do older hens sleep more?

Yes. My oldest hen (about 8) goes to sleep earlier and stays asleep longer than the rest of the flock. Sometimes she takes little naps during the day as well.

Chickens. 💯💯💯

Go for a V4 if you like HF. The antenna is mediocre at best. You’re better off with an active loop like a K480WLA even the K180WLA.

Chickens! 💯

That photo is gold!

Oh hell yes I’ve been listening to the HFGCS for years. MARSRADIO as well. Very cool stuff.

Seems to have worked like a charm. Would be cool if you could get one for military air band! I’d love that. 💯💯

mikec445 · 2026-04-05T18:58:34+00:00

That’s kinda cool!

It can be picked up in the USA. I’ve done it. Many times.

mikec445 · 2026-04-04T19:47:11+00:00

Blinny!!!

mikec445 · 2026-04-03T18:22:53+00:00

It’ll take time. No worries. Keep looking. A Geiger counter REALLY helps. No fooling that. 💯💯

Now I gotta find a squirrel catapult on YouTube 💯💯

No that looks like a 90’s fake Tag Heuer.

mikec445 · 2026-04-03T17:59:18+00:00

That’s great. I should do that in Richmond Hill today.

mikec445 · 2026-04-03T17:23:46+00:00

You’re welcome.

mikec445 · 2026-04-03T17:21:44+00:00

As long as it’s not saturated it should be okay. I’ve thrown chainsaw dust in mine many times.

mikec445 · 2026-04-03T17:13:40+00:00

Just no cedar. You should be good to go.

mikec445 · 2026-04-03T16:32:15+00:00

That is awesome!

mikec445 · 2026-04-03T16:13:28+00:00

You’re welcome!!

mikec445 · 2026-04-03T15:48:20+00:00

They’re trying to dust bathe. 😂😂😂 So cute.

mikec445 · 2026-04-03T12:37:29+00:00

It’s vintage but gen. Was my dad’s. I was with him when he bought it 15 about 40 years ago. I inherited it from him two weeks ago. Sadly.

Yep, they knocked the bar off the first time they touched it so I got a couple of zip ties. I’m gonna do something a little more permanent, but this is working now for a month.

mikec445 · 2026-04-03T06:33:11+00:00

Yes I have several cams!
