We're growing! 20 of 22 doing well. 2 (runt) mortalities within 48 hours. This weekend I'll give them access to part of the unheated brooder area.

I went :90percent: freestyle custom build based on the prototype by this guy I found (after falling in love with idea of having a vortex window like that): https://www.youtube.com/@foxfish7115
The vortex window is such a nice touch. It's almost a waste to not have that beauty on display

I have some mass too btw.
Seeing temps go from 800° C to 48° C at chimney exit :Check: .
Besides that small-medium I have, most houses are insulated enough these days to not need crazy big rocket s...
Great video, I really like the somewhat modular build. Did you just play with stuff until it worked or were there books or plans you started from?

yeah, very few rocket-stove-type builds out there that have the vortex in any way visible. I don't get it. It's way too awesome 🤩.
AND it projects the heat very far into my house, that window. I ...
That's very interesting. I guess it makes sense that it would be a more direct radiant heat, rather than being absorbed and stored in the mass.

Even when I overfeed the #vortexstove, it still burns surprisingly clean. Very well 👌.
Do you have a window for that view? I've been hooked on the idea of rocket stoves since I discovered the broaudio YouTube channel around 12 years ago. The swirling of the flames is epic

This last batch we got, i picked a variety of breeds, decided i wanted to have all different sizes and colors. Gonna do that again i think.
Part of me wants to develop my own landrace hybrid. What that probably becomes is just getting males from random breeds and keeping weird hybrids. It sounds fun, but I'd probably wind up undoing a lot of work and get some scrawny hens that lay 3 dozen eggs a year or something.

gm😊☕, the more chickens i have, the more i want.
We had secondhand elderly isa browns last year. Laying was very much in decline. Starting with Barred Rock this year, thinking about getting Rhode Island Reds next year. If the roosters aren't too annoying we could get some sex links in two years. We'll see.
