This and the 5 gallon version of this product are more disappointing products from Little Giant. I had to modify the handles on these to get them to hang straight enough to not leak (I...

If these waterers aren't fairly level they leak -- that's pretty obvious. We don't have a lot of flat level spots in our chicken areas, so decided to hang our waterers and let gravity level them...

Also contact your local feed store. Its what I did this year and they usually have a hatchery they go through and they shipped the birdlets right to my feed store which is 10 minutes away! :)

I bought off of Freys and had coccidous in my meaties from day 1..had them tested by a vet and everything. I called Freys and told them and they were more than happy to take all the dead birds for testing and asked if I wanted replacements. I ofcourse said no...as I lost my whole flock in less than a week after this incident. I received my money back and that was that. I mean Im not condoning them for their hatchery but I would not recommend them to anyone. just my two cents.

I got my chickens from a local farmer, because i wanted ones ready to lay. I live in Ontario as well, and had contacted Frey's in an attempt to get ready to lay hens. I contacted them in March, and was informed that they wouldn't have ready to lay until July. SO i suggest that you contact them early for older chickens.

I'm looking for a Canadian Hatchery in BC, or close too, that sells Australorps. I want to add them to my existing breeder based flock to increase their laying production (as i've read hatchery birds are better layers than breeder birds). So far I can't find one hatchery except for Murray McMurray in the states who has them and will ship to me.
