Where did your original legbar parents come from? Also, I want to know if any of these 3 chickens are related? I'm assuming they are?

I spoke with Miller mftg. and they feel it's a faulty valve. They are mailing me one at no charge--gotta love a company that backs it's products like that. BearFoot, I'm going to look into your parts as well. Good to know you can get something locally like that for a quick fix!

I'm being very specific. Anyone with this waterer would understand what I'm describing. This doesn't involve a regulator. thanks!

I'm using gravity feeding from a 55g barrel, and this waterer is supposed to be able to handle pressure and work between 20-70 psi, which is why I purchased it. You can actually connect it to a garden hose. That is not the reason it is overflowing. I've tried turning the bolts up and all the...

I've figured out how to take off the bowl and I see the spring that you are able to torque up or down with the little bolt. I've tried it all the way up and all the way down, in the middle and every which way and the darn thing still fills up all the way and overflows. What gives?

I just got the Little Giant/Miller Chick Fount waterer and for the life of me I can't get it to stop overflowing the bowl. There are no instructions with it and I tried to see if I could find something online, but haven't found a darn thing. How do you adjust it so that the bowl doesn't overflow?

I did this today. I didn't let them out until 3PM, and I noticed the same thing. They were all running for the nest boxes!

Most fascinating! I went around searching today, but found nothing! It has to be somewhere, but gosh darn it is too much space to cover! And fall leaves are still everywhere. All I know is that when I have them penned up, I get more eggs! These birds are way smarter than I am for sure!

Keep looking? It's half an acre! I've looked in all the places, but I don't see any eggs. But there are leaves everywhere.............

I've had my Speckled Sussex flock about a year now, and in the last 2 months I've allowed them to free range the property most days. What I've noticed is that if I leave them in the coop and their 35 foot long run for the day, they lay far many more eggs than when I let them roam around the...

Here she is in her litter pan all fluffed up. I've been feeding her every day by putting some BOSS or feed in a corner and she scarfs it all up. Today she surprised me by hopping out of the nest to grab some BOSS I'd thrown on the coop floor for the others. The entire time she hasn't budged once...

I would imagine a chick could pass through the bars on the dog crate yes. I do have a bunch of chicken wire on a roll that I could wrap around the dog crate with plastic ties to prevent that from happening. I could also build a simple box with 2x4's as well since I have plenty of scrap lumber...

I have a large wire dog cage that I could certainly pick up the broody hen in her kitty litter pan and put her in that. I can certainly cut out a opening on the pan front as well with some snips. I'm assuming I can put the chick feeder and their water inside the wire cage to try to keep the main...

Hi all. I've got a Speckled Sussex hen that went broody and is sitting on 2 eggs now for about the last two weeks. She is sitting in a typical cat litter box (with the top removed) that has a pan wall that is about 8 inches tall. Once the chicks hatch, how will they get out? Would I just move...

Today I had a similar assault from my English Sussex roo, Gus. He has been nothing but a gentleman for 7 months and today I went into the run to pick up the remains of a pineapple I had tossed in there and as I bent down to get it, he ran right over to my reaching arm and attacked it...

I have a bunch of sussex and they just started laying 3 weeks ago. I'm averaging 3 eggs per day, so clearly not all of them are laying yet. The eggs are smallish, and I'm waiting for the eggs to get larger, but they haven't yet...

My 20 week old Speckled Sussex roo is a gentleman. He is not overtly friendly per se (doesn't want me to touch him), but he knows I am boss and is respectful of my space. I have a bit of a gentlemanly agreement with him, in that when I come in with food or a snack, I will give him the first...
