2 Gallon Double Wall Fount
Reviewed by LeslieDJoyce

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...

Automatic King Size Poultry Fount - 2550

I bought and installed several of these at one time and they all leaked right away. I removed one and took it back to the feed store where I bought it to ask for advice, and was told I wasn't the...

Hi!
I'm hoping to find more Local Seattle city chicken keepers/Urban Farmers!
Would love to hear from all you folks who keep chickens/gardens/goats/etc inside the Seattle City Limits!

I plan to start off with a "pottager" type garden this spring, as I have never grown vegies before. Maybe more after that!

Hello.

I'm in North Beach. We have 7 chickens. We got them at 1 day old and it's been a year. My husband built an amazing coop that also functions as a playhouse for my two sons. It's two stories...playhouse on top. I'll get around to posting those pics eventually.

There have to be more of us, don't you think?
