Work Party 9th August


After unloading Wouter's furniture from the van on Saturday morning the work party went onto finish the pop hole at Beachwood pen plus the poults in residence were fed and watered. Also Tristan placed 3 of the blue feed hoppers around the Beachwood area ready for the corn feed when supplied.
We all then moved up to the Worthy Park pen to ensure that it is in good condition for the next batch of poults. A new pop hole was installed at the top of the pen and one of the original holes was improved to stop the birds from hopping over the chicken wire. Lets hope that the farm workers are careful when operating any machinery along the track so as not to undo the work done. The electric fence was checked by Tristan and given the ok. I will order two more small car batteries for the units.
Those attending on Saturday along with myself was (left to right on photo) Tristan and his springer Macey, Kevin and Greg. Macey looks a cracking dog and so far well trained by Tristan, had no hesitation in alarming the poults at Beachwood. Should prove to be an excellent asset for Tristan and the shoot come the season.
