Question about nipple watering systems. I know Donna uses them. Anyone else? Love them or hate them?  Where did you get them? I'm thinking of converting.

once you go to nipples you will never go back! i got mine from a guy in west jordan, a 5 gal bucket with lid and 4 nipples for $15. i guess ifa may have the nipples now, i know they have the ones already installed in the buckets but they were not cheap at all. i just fill mine with the hose and its so easy and it stays so clean. my girls learned to use them in seconds, all i did was show them. you can also get a drop in deicer for the winter. the water stays clean and my girls like them a lot better

 Speckled beauties. 

Thanks again for the kind words. I'm so glad you liked the eggs. I love the variety they lay and the speckled eggs are my favorites.

I have one like that and it will hold a lot of heavy eggs. I also use it in my garden when digging potatoes and/or carrying in heavy produce. Many uses for those antique egg baskets.

Sphinx I can't wait to see the eggs you have in the incubator. I love the olive egg! I started my bantam WC Polish on the the 4 th. Seven of the 8 are fertile so we will see how it goes.

My sister won some Silkie Ameraucana eggs from chicken stock. Has anyone seen that breed before? Or have any? Just wondering what your thoughts on them were?

Cynthia I love those eggs! I really have to stop after this hatching this is my third and I keep seeing more that I want hatch. I'm excited for you to get your new incubator. Now I can just live vicariously though you and your hatching. big_smile.png

You are welcome!   Glad you could stop by our fun thread.  I have a feeling you just may be getting some orders from some folks..by chance, do you have more pictures of your Marans?   I think I said blue Marans in my pm to you, but it's just the way the picture showed them.   I guess I can just tell everyone here, to go check out her profile pictures..those marans are beautiful.

Wonderful family, very understanding husband when it comes to chickens, dogs, birds, one big Golden Retriever, and thankful to the Lord for all!

I looked at her Marans pics yesterday droolin.gif---FBCM I believe, absolutely stunning. If mine do not work out from Idaho (I think I have it worked out! yay!) It is good to see a second source with beautiful girls (and boys!) AND if I ever get Welsummer eggs this is the place! What a beautiful farm love.gif
