they get enough water...and they are free range ducks, they have 2 swimming tubs set up. and they are healthy. I never said they were designed for ducks, but they use them and they get the water they need!

I have seen several ask about what they can put on their chickens to keep others from pecking at them. well I couldn't remember the name of it, but I asked my Grandfather today, (I finally remembered to ask him), he has raised chickens for nearly 60 years. he said to use pine tar on the picking...

I am using 2 50Watts sub heaters this winter in a 5 gallon bucket with 4 horizontal nipples. the temp dipped down to neg 12 last week. water in bucket and nipples never froze. there was water that dripped off the nipples on the ground that was froze but the sub heaters worked flawlessly.

i tried pellets..they stopped eating all together from the containers and were just foraging free range....went back to crumble and they started eating it again. go figure

116 qt tub with lid $17.99, 6 elbows $3.49/ea. Zip ties to hold elbows in (I had on hand, but like $2.00 for a 50 pack). Holds around 100 pounds of layer crumble. Elbows are 1/2inch off the bottom of the tub on the inside to allow food to gravity feed. I had the bucket design that I made from...

clear plastic tub with lid $18, 6- 4" PVC elbows $3.49/ea....chickens cant get their feet inside to "rake" the food all over the place.. I had 2- 5 gal buckets setup with single elbows, but with 22 chickens i needed a better feeder. this is what I made. it holds 100 lbs of crumble layer feed.

the nipples will work on 3/4" pipe i have a setup just like you are speaking of, but due to the cold weather I went back to my 5-gallon bucket with 4 nipples and have an aquarium heater in it. it has been down to 10 degrees so far this week and no issues with freezing. Once the weather...

my ducks drink from the same horizontal water nipples that my chickens drink from. i have a 40 gallon oval tub that i fill about every 2 weeks that they swim and play in.

i have one of those white/red based waterers..i took some wire and looped it around the top of it and one loop over the top. i hung it from the inside roof of my coop. they dont waste as much by flinging it all over and they cant poop in it. I used a quit disconnect ring and a "J" hook. I...

i was going to do that, but thought they would just dig under that too...ill try it and see. can always bury it later i guess

I have a chicken coop and am getting ready to build a "run" under an overhang of a barn. I have chain link fencing i am using for that, my question is how far down into the ground do I need to put the fencing to prevent digging of predators? I was thinking of using chicken cloth laid flat. I...
