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...

One of my first baby chicks from 2008, Lady Rosalind died today. She was fine, her comb was a bit pale, but it does that from time to time, so I wasn't concerned. Yesterday for some quite unknown reason, when I put new water in the pen, I picked her up and told her she was a good chiken.

This afternoon, after running some errands, I came home went out to give the chickens some treats, and there she was... dead as can be!

Here are a few photos of Lady Rosalind as a Memorial.

First day home with all her sisters in the coop.
