    Galvanized farm-grade waterers and brown crap

    Hi there, I have a mason jar/galvanized waterer base set up for my four chickens. Why does the base turn brown? Rust? How do I get rid of that? I've been using this set up for about a month and change the water twice a day. Ideas? I try to wipe it out.

    Young EE Roo needs home (SE Wisconsin)

    We thought we got all pullets but apparently not. Clyde is 8 weeks old today. We can't have roosters in town. Would prefer for Clyde to not end up in a Crock Pot.

    Hello! I have 1 RIR and 3 EE pullets (4 weeks old). I live in WI, so winters can be tough. The girls are getting ready to move into their coop in the next week or two. Unfortunately, it is a kit ordered online, as I am not carpentry savvy at all (neither is my husband). I used weather proof...
