You have to get this perfectly level for the water to work and then sometime it still leaks. You have to monkey around with for it to work.
The handle is welded cheaply and busted off...
Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....
I will start by saying that I love Australorps. In fact, my very favorite hen is an Australorp. She is such a sweet chicken and just let's you walk right up to her to pick her up. She doesn't run...
seem like a good breed, if i had the room i would probably raise a batch of them they seem like they would be a good 4h starter show bird...considering i dont see many of this breed in my class...
its a feed scooper it cant be perfect but over all when every thing is said an done i love mine its great its starting to show a little wear an tear but its to be expected i have had it for 4...
As a newbie - I don't even have a coop, yet alone the first chicken, but ours is going to be called 'The Sunnyside Up Hen Pen' - has a pleasant ring to it I think!
Haha, I really like that! I might have to steal it if that is okay! ;-)

Mine is called " THE CHICKEN COLOSSEUM". It got that name cuz I asked my D.B - "how much longer is the coop gonna take to finish"- he replied - "Rome wasnt built in a day"!

I call my chickens The Eggs-istentialists, so I'm looking to get a sign made for my coop saying "Home of the Eggs-istentialists".

Right now the girls are in what we call "Halfway house", a temporary house until we build the rest of their coop and they are "integrated" back into society.
(Sorry, criminology minor here...)
But, I would love some help for the coop. I was thinking something to do with a "nunnery", since all my chicks are girls and it might be a cute thing.
OR - something "saloon", maybe the flip side is my girls are a little...shall we say, risque? Hehehehehhehe
