I think it's just some of that Vermont know-how.

I think you guys are right. It was definitely the thing-a-ma-jig! And I used my learned Vermont know-how to strip some wire and connect the battery. et voila!

Fortunately I didn't leave the 2 6V batteries connected very long and I was right there @greybeard
Little Barnevelder gave us a scare last night. Only found 5 chicks on top of the brooder. They get pretty loud if they are separated from their flock mates and I heard nothing. Then DW managed to spot her on the Broody buster support behind one of the Faverolles. Phew! Tonight she was down with the other 5.

Last night she was back up. Tonight one of the Golden Campines was up with her. Given how the older girls fight for "ownership" of that location and there are usually at least 6 crammed on it I am amazed that they have ceded the left side to two impertinent 6 week old chicks.
Dad and sister are visiting from So Cal. Yesterday and today we split the big tree I had cut into 16" pieces. I had hand sledge and wedge split the biggest ones in half. I bet they still weighed over 10 pounds each. Sadly, big as the tree appeared to me, it was less than half a cord. That means I have a LOT of reasonable sized trees to cut and split in the relatively near future.
